Once a magician, always a magician.

Ronaldinho showed why he is one of football’s most-loved players as Barcelona legends beat their Real Madrid counterparts in an El Clasico friendly.

The two-time World Player of the Year produced three assists in a 3-2 win for the Catalans — one of which was a trademark no-look pass.

How can you not love this man?

The Brazilian superstar produced a stunning no-look chip, perfectly weighted for Ludovic Giuly with the Frenchman slamming home with an emphatic volley.

Barcelona started with the likes of  Eric Abidal, Gianluca Zambrotta, Edgar Davids and Gaizka Mendieta.

While Roberto Carlos, Fernando Morientes and Fernando Sanz were among the big names in action for Real Madrid.

The move echoed Giuly’s goal against Milan in the 2006 Champions League semi-final, in which the pair combined in similar fashion at the San Siro.
