Reporter’s view: Given a divided idea that Leo Messi scored in London, Barcelona are not indeed compulsory to kick Antonio Conte’s Premier League champions. But a sign from Chelsea fans final week that a Blaugrana haven’t beaten a Blues side with 11 group given May 1966 will annoy a little. Ernesto Valverde’s side are appealing and clever in equal measures – though do they have a appetite and corner to finish a pursuit they began during Stamford Bridge?

Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona coach
In a initial leg we saw Chelsea’s virtues. The initial outcome is good for us though we have to play a diversion and be ourselves. Chelsea can measure during any time. They can take opposite approaches, they showed that in London. But when they pull behind and urge clever they are tough to mangle through. Maybe a tip is to keep pressing, though they are also unequivocally clever on a counterattack … and a hazard from set pieces. We have to be clever about that.
Antonio Conte, Chelsea manager
In a initial leg we played a unequivocally good diversion – roughly a ideal diversion – opposite a group we cruise one of a best in a world. The final outcome gives Barcelona a good advantage. We know their truth will be to win a diversion and we have to try a best, have good thoroughness and keep a heads on a representation a whole time. There might be times that we suffer, though we have to stay compress and when we have a round we contingency in heads and hearts that we can score.
