Mouthwatering encounter between Chelsea and Barcelona

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s a big one tonight in the UEFA Champions league, Chelsea are up against Barcelona in what promises to be a mouth-watering affair.

And, Turkish side Besiktas have a tricky encounter against Bayern Munich in Germany.

The clash of the day must be a UEFA Champions League showdown between United Kingdom-based Chelsea and Catalan giants, Barcelona in London.

Barca, as the Spanish team is affectionately known, are firm favourites going into the match.

They have not lost a La Liga game this season. But, Chelsea coach Antonio Conte says fortune favours the brave.

“We have to know that during the game we must be prepared to suffer, but at the same time, we must have the idea that every moment we can go straight to score.”

Barca coach, Erenesto Valverde, believes he faces a fully transformed Chelsea.

“Chelsea has their own way of playing. Many teams in the Premier League have played against them and that has conditioned Chelsea to how they play and they have changed the way they play. We undoubtedly have to consider this, the mechanics are different.”

Meanwhile in Germany, round of sixteen UEFA rookies, Besiktas, will try their luck against the more experienced and well-oiled Bayern Munich.

This evening’s UEFA Champions League matches will kick-off at a 9:45pm.
