Barcelona remained undefeated after their match with Athletic Bilbao at the Nou Camp, which played out yesterday. Ronaldinho was by far the star of the show with a couple of goals in the bag, both off of set plays. Barcelona came into this match with a draw to start of the season and so they needed to produce results for the fans most of all. Coach Rijkaard did say that Bilbao has always been a hard team to overcome and so it was great to see Barca triumph. As I said before, Ronaldinho came out the main protagonist of the win with two goals and the new recruit Toure Yaya keeps impressing with a thunderous strike late in the game to find the cross bar, hit the ground on what looked like the goal side of the line and the referee concurred to give him the benefit of the doubt. Now whether it crossed the line or not is something you can judge for yourself, with the video I have provided below.

Ronaldinho’s Goals

Watching Ronaldinho’s free kick in particular shows me the amount of practice that he puts into his set plays. The sheer power and accuracy is a testament to his tenacity to keep perfecting his game. From a viewers perspective, you can see that his mind is purely set on playing good football and it shows through the quality of his strikes and plays. It seems as though the break he asked for from the Copa America that was played a few months ago has really impacted him in a good way and was exactly what the doctor ordered. I hope that he keeps up this great display of football and does us, his fans, proud.
