Ronaldinho grabs brace

Ronaldinho was the hero as he grabbed two fantastic trademark free kick goals against Real Betis as Barca romped to a 3-0 victory against the Seville side.

Brazilian international Ronaldinho, criticised for his poor form and excessive partying this season, curled in two brilliant free-kicks.

The Brazilian has been the subject of speculation regarding his future, and also his antics, in recent months. Chelsea were rumoured to be tempted into spending £50m on the Brazilian's services, but only this week Barcelona denied all the rumours.

Henry, back in the side after missing Thursday night's draw at Real Valladolid with an Achilles injury, looked particularly lively. Henry, who skipped past his marker and beat Ricardo with a clinical low finish on 32 minutes, put Barcelona in front.

But it was Ronaldinho who stole the show. and in the 52nd minute he curled a wonderful free-kick into the corner.

Ronaldinho added a third goal on the stroke of full-time when he curled a free-kick through the wall and in off the post.
