Ronaldinho makes celebrated return to Barcelona

Ronaldinho has returned to Barcelona.

The Brazilian wizard, 36, is rejoining the club he helped return to its status at the top of the game between 2003 and 2008 to act as an official ambassador.

On Tuesday, Barca are opening a new US office in New York to try enhance their brand internationally – and who better than to bring in as the face of that in North America than the club legend who scored 94 goals in 207 games, winning three La Ligas and a Champions League?

Regarded as one of the best players of his generation, Ronaldinho also won the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2004 and 2005 and the FIFA Ballon d'Or in 2005 too.
