Many are tipping Lionel Messi and co. to reach the quarter-finals, but they shouldn’t be so sure. The last time these two teams played in the knockout stage of the competition, it was the Blues who prevailed, with Fernando Torres’ famous goal at the Camp Nou sending Chelsea through to the 2012 UEFA Champions League Final.
Plus, with the hosts boasting the world-class talents of Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante and former Barcelona duo Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, don’t expect Antonio Conte’s team to go down without an almighty fight over two legs.
