Ronaldinho fires Barcelona closer to title


Ronaldinho struck to move Barcelona within back-to-back championships against Cadiz last night.

The Brazilian scored the only goal of the game after just eight minutes, sweeping home a cross from Julio Belletti.
Barca could have won by a more comfortable margin but Samuel Eto'o missed with a second-half penalty kick.
Cadiz, hoping to catch Barcelona on a European hangover, suffered a blow early on in the game with Ronaldinho putting the Catalan side ahead.
Julio Belletti charged down the right wing and hit a low cross which his countryman fired into the roof of the net from 12 yards.
Late on though Roberto Suarez could have grabbed a point for Cadiz but his header was clawed away by Victor Valdes.
