Ronaldinho lead Barca to victory
|
Barcelona returned to display some of their best form in yesterday's 3-0 win over Recreativo.
Ronaldinho hit back at his detractors with two of the goals, including a rare headed effort, in a result which sees Barcelona move clear at the top of the Spanish League after Valencia's surprising defeat at Racing Santander.
Xavi also netted in the second-half with the best goal of the night.
Brazilian full-back Juliano Belletti found himself in acres of space on the right flank, from where he expertly picked out the advancing Spaniard, who sent a brilliant header past Laquait and into the Frenchman's far right-hand corner.
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard said afterwards: "We must keep working as a team. We deserved victory against a very organised rival.
"Ronnie has been again decisive, it is important to watch forwards. I always speak of the attitude, of the form of this team, we can improve, but the victory has been important.
"I am happy with the three goals, we could have scored some more, but Recreativo has played very well. The penalty? I never talk about the decisions of the referee, not when we won nor when we lose."
