Ronaldinho hits hat-trick as Barca crush Udinese
Ronaldinho stepped up to take the free kick and Di Sanctis was left rooted to the spot as the ball sailed over the wall and into the top corner. RASPING DRIVE Udinese, missing Italy striker Vincenzo Iaquinta because of a contractual dispute, responded with dynamic attacking play and almost equalised when midfielder Damiano Zenoni unleashed a rasping drive from 20 metres. The two sides traded a series of well-worked moves in a breathless 20-minute spell but it was the Italians who scored next when defender Felipe stabbed in a 24th-minute corner at the far post. The frenetic pace never slowed and a minute later Samuel Eto'o saw a goalbound shot scrambled off the line by Vidigal. The Cameroon striker set up Barcelona's second on 32 minutes when he raced on to a clever pass from Messi and cut the ball back from the byline for Ronaldinho to coolly stroke a low shot into the far corner. Four minutes before the break Deco earned his side a free kick when he was felled outside the area following a driving run through midfield. Deco and Ronaldinho stood over the ball before the Brazilian stepped back to allow Deco to curl it over the wall and inside the near post. Udinese suffered another setback at the start of the second half when Vidigal was dismissed after picking up a second yellow card for a foul on Juliano Belletti. Ronaldinho then made it 4-1 with his last-gasp penalty.
