Ronaldinho completed his move from Paris St Germain to Barcelona this afternoon after passing a medical.
"Ronaldinho has passed the tests satisfactorily, with a great attitude," Barcelona medical chief Jordi Ardevol told the club's website after the tests had been completed. "He is in excellent shape."
Barcelona signed the Brazilian from Paris St Germain last night after finally beating off competition from Premiership champions Manchester United.
Ronaldinho joined the Catalan club in a £21million deal.
United had been favourites for Ronaldinho's signature until Barcelona eventually won the race to sign the player on a five-year deal.

United even reportedly offered goalkeeper Fabien Barthez as a makeweight in the deal before finally admitting defeat in the race to sign the World Cup winner.
After weeks of uncertainty, Barcelona have finally got their man after Ronaldinho agreed personal terms and the delight at the Nou Camp was obvious.
Barcelona vice-president Sandro Rosell said last night: "He's one of the stars of the new Barcelona. He is impressed by the crowds who've come out tonight to see him."
Many fans assembled at the Nou Camp and had waited patiently while Ronaldinho and Roberto Assis, his brother who acts as his agent, discussed personal terms in a meeting which lasted four hours.
Rosell had told the 23-year-old Brazilian superstar, who he has known well for several years, that there would be a terrific response from the public to his signing.
"We told him this would happen. He wants to come and that why he's here," said Rosell, who got to know the former PSG forward when he was a Nike executive.
Rosell also promised it would not be the last of the spending, adding: "We are going to sign two or three more players."
Ronaldinho did not speak, but Assis expressed the pair's relief at the deal being done.
"Barca worked very hard with PSG and now we've reached agreement and we're very happy to be here," said Assis.
