Sometimes dreams do come true and in Ronaldinho's case they did against Villarreal as the Brazilian revealed that his over-head kick was something that he had always dreamt of and that the strike would change his life.

Spectacular. Incredible. Ronaldinho. The Barça players were full of praise to describe their team-mate after his wonderful effort on Saturday evening.

Below are what some of the squad had to say after the 4-0 win.

Ronaldinho

"I was thinking about controlling it and making it simple, but then the ball sat up and that was the result."
"Without doubt, this goal will change my life."
"In training I always try these things, and make them happen, and today it worked in a game."
"The feeling was really special in front of a full stadium and the fans' reaction was great. I will certainly sleep well now."
"I have also always wanted to score from the middle of the pitch, but that has not yet happened."
"The whole team have played well and we have great confidence."

Valdés

"Ronaldinho's goal was spectacular. Few players could do that. I have been on the receiving end of goals like that in training."
"Going forward we were very good and Ronnie's contribution was the crowning moment."
"Like normal in Camp Nou I have not had much work to do. The defence was focussed and I have done what I to do."
"When we all arrived we wanted to win and win well. All the better if things carry on like that."
"I am pleased for Iniesta. He scored a great goal."

Gudjohnsen

"What Ronaldinho did was incredible. That is Ronaldinho."
"Cygan pulled me down for the penalty."
"I play in a more advanced position now than I did at Chelsea and it is slightly easier for me."
"The game after I scored was over as a contest."
"The level of football is the best in the world. It is the best club in the world."
"I think that everyone is physically stronger, me included."

Edmílson

"In the last few games, Ronnie has played very well and has lost very few balls. He is a player that everyone knows and can see how he plays. There are days when things do not always go tight and others like the one tonight."
"Up until February we have an important run of games and we need a strong squad. For that reason we need to move ahead in the league."
"We are very happy because winning at home is important in the league."
"We played aggressively against a strong team and we now have a week to recover."

Zambrotta

"It was important to win today and continue our run of victories. We are all very happy."
"The team played well and everyone is adapting to the side very well."
"Ronaldinho is one of a kind. There is nobody like him."

Iniesta

"Ronaldinho has scored a great goal. In every game he does something news."
"I am pleased with the way we played. We looked strong."
"OI am possibly having the best moment of my career. We are only just starting the season really and my only goal is to continue improving."
"It was a game where we had to work hard for the first goal and then in the secnd half we totally dominated."


Ronaldinho, goal 50 (and 51)

Before the game against Villarreal, Ronaldinho had scored 49 league goals for FC Barcleona. In minute 34 he netted number 50 from the penalty spot after just three-and-a-half seasons at the club. Before the end of the game the Brazilian scored number 51 when an incredible over-head kick. In his first season, Ronnie scored 15 times, nine in his second and 17 last term.
