With the win over Dundee United, Barcelona headed into this match with optimism and a positive outlook on the game. Manager Frank Rijkaard used the same formation as previously used against Dundee with the attacking trident of Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o and Santi Ezquerro (Note Lionel Messi is resting due to the recent Copa America). He then went on to replace the three attackers with Thierry Henry, Dos Santos and Bojan Krkic. The best part about the win is the fact that Ronaldinho scored twice and that made me pretty happy. He scored with his head for his second, which I’m sure he was very happy about because I know for a fact that he believes that his heading game is one of the weaker aspects of his game, so this could only boost his confidence. Here are the goals with the accompanying video clips so enjoy.
Ronaldinho Penalty Kick (21st min)
Great run by Zambrotta which really helped his side take the lead. Cool and well placed finish by Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho Goal (40th min)
Great one-two touch and pass by Eto’o and great cross by Sylvinho to find Ronaldinho who smartly heads the ball in the other side of the net.
Dos Santos Goal (51st min)
Once again, great build up with a exceptional run by Bojan who cuts the defence in half with a great ball to Henry who whips the ball back in for Dos Santos to calmy place into the net. (Keep your eye on Dos Santos for the future, he’s going to be a great player)
