BARCA MAKE WINNING START TO TOUR


Ronaldinho delighted Chinese fans by scoring with a trademark free kick in a 3-0 win for Barcelona over Beijing Guoan on Sunday
Mexican youngster Dos Santos opened the scoring after eight minutes before Iniesta doubled the lead two minutes before the hour mark.
The Brazilian, probably the most popular player in China, had twisted his ankle in training on Saturday but he came on for the second half in place of new signing Thierry Henry

"I was satisfied with the game," Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard told reporters. "We weren't able to play our best but the team accomplished what they wanted to."
Barcelona face J.League outfit Yokohama Marinos on Tuesday before rounding off their tour against a Mission Hills Invitation XI, a team made up of players from Kitchee and Happy Valley, in Hong Kong three days later.
