Getting through to the quarter finals of the Champions League; participating in the World Club Championships for the first time; and winning the world player of the year award. Ronaldinho could have "a perfect end to the year".

The Barcelona ace could end the year on a high. Barça take on Werder Bremen next Tuesday - the winner going through to the next phase of the Champions League. In just ten days time, the team will travel to Japan to take part in the World club Championships for the first time. And finally, Ronaldinho could win the FIFA world player of the year award for the third consecutive year. Three awards which, if all achieved, would be "a perfect end to the year".

A difficult path

Regarding the two competitions, Ronaldinho does not make the distinction of one being more important than the other: "all games are important. The first against Werder Bremen, will be very important due to the situation we find ourselves in. After we'll play in a competition we've never done so before and therefore we want to achieve something special".

World club rivals

Barça could find themselves up against Mexican side Club America; a repeat of the friendly fixture played recently in the pre season tour. Ronaldinho recalls the game as "a tough encounter" and for that reason "it will be a very difficult competition to win".

Brazilian past

Another of the teams competing is Sport Club International; a team Ronaldinho knows all too well. "They were a big rival in my life, but I don't have any special feelings towards them. They're a physical team with a good defense". Questioned whether or not Barça should rest players for the game against Levante, Ronaldinho didn't agree: "I'm good to play, but this is the decision of the coach, I see every player wanting to play against Levante.

"I feel like a winner"

Ronaldinho once again finds himself in the list of possible players in line to receive the award of FIFA World player, along with Cannavaro and Zidane. The Brazilian ace, however, said "I already feel like a winner for being in the top three. I'm happy to be up there again and this motivates me to keep on playing as best I can". Despite the announcement being in the near future, Ronaldinho assured that: "I'm thinking about the games we have".
