Chelsea have been drawn against Barcelona in the Last 16 round of the Champions League - which is not surprising considering the 44% possibility of this clash becoming a reality before the draw actually started.

This will be the 7th occasional in which Chelsea face Barcelona in Europe, with the Blaugranas having only been knocked out by the London Blues twice in history. Undoubtedly, Fernando Torres late heart-stopping equalizer in the 2011/12 semifinal is a moment that will forever stand out in the memories of the blue fans, but there are many others which instantly spring to mind. The frequency in which the two sides have met, particularly in the last decade, makes their rivalry a modern Champions League classic which both sets of fans are already looking forward to.

Ernesto Valverde had nothing but respect for the English champions:
"Chelsea are a strong, physical team who have a very well defined way of playing, tactically. It’s a tough draw due against a big club. It will be a nice tie to play in, a tough tie but attractive and exciting for the players and the fans. Antonio Conte is a coach with an impressive CV; he has won trophies with Chelsea and with Juventus and I get the feeling he is a methodical, tactical coach who is really well organised. I don’t have any doubt that they will study us in depth, we have two months to get ready for the games and we can watch them, and they can watch us.”

Chelsea are clearly a team that must be respected. Years of heavy investment have resulted on a team full of quality players, including former Blaugranas Cesc Fabregas and Pedro Rodriguez, that are more than capable of beating anybody when playing collaboratively as a unit. The impact of Conte, their passionate Italian manager, is obvious, having lead the London Blues to 52 wins, 8 draws and only 12 losses in his 72 matches in charge.
