New signing Ronaldinho scored one goal and laid on the other as Barcelona beat European champions AC Milan 2-0 in a pre-season friendly in the United States last night.

Barcelona went ahead after 10 minutes when Ronaldinho flicked a ball to new signing Ricardo Quaresma who then left Alessandro Nesta and Paolo Maldini flat-footed before firing past the helpless Dida in goal.

The Spanish side added a second goal five minutes into the second period. Ronaldinho, who joined the club from Paris St Germain earlier this month, volleyed the ball home from 25 metres.
