Barcelona's Ronaldinho gestures after losing their Spanish first division soccer match against Villarreal at Nou Camp stadium in Barcelona, March 9, 2008.

The first leg is in Gelsenkirchen on April 1. Meanwhile, another Brazilian Ronaldo is paying very little attention to Pele's prediction that he will not fully recover from his latest knee injury.

Pele on Friday said it would be "difficult" for Ronaldo to recover and return to his level of play.

"I'm actually glad he said that," Ronaldo told Radio Globo on Sunday night. "We all know Pele is known for making wrong predictions about everything. It usually happens the opposite of what he says."

Ronaldo said he was not upset. "I know he is an idol and is asked about all subjects," Ronaldo said. "Sometimes that puts him in difficult situations."

On Sunday, friend and former Real Madrid teammate Zinedine Zidane said he is confident Ronaldo will overcome the knee injury.
