Ronaldinho seeking revenge
Date: 20-02-2006 23:05
Barcelona star Ronaldinho is confident of avenging last season's Champions League exit at the hands of Chelsea.
The two giants of European football square up to each other in what promises to be a titanic struggle, with the first leg at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, after meeting at the same stage of the competition last year.
RONALDINHO The Blues emerged victorious from that ill-tempered encounter but Ronaldinho is determined it will be different this time round.
The World Player of the Year said: "I still have images in my head of when the game finished in London and we were out. I do not want this to happen again this year.
"I know everyone is talking about this match, it is the kind of event which stirs a country. We represent Spain so we aim to do well and we are only thinking about victory.
"The game in London will be vital and the objective will be to get a good result so we do not suffer in the Nou Camp."
Ronaldinho also played down claims that Chelsea stopper John Terry planned to kick him out of the game.
The 25-year-old added: "This does not bother me. I am training as much as I can so I can escape any markers. The only thing that interests me is to play at my best and help the team.
"I respect the Chelsea defence but I am not worried or scared.
"We have to try to forget the past - we committed errors and we will aim not to repeat them.
"One of the key things is to play our own football and to play how we know. On top of this to have the second game at the Nou Camp is an advantage we have to make the most of."
