Chelsea's defense mistake has allowed Barcelona to score a valuable goal on a foreign field, with which the English Grand Camp's task of becoming "extremely difficult". Barcelona has no single home loss this season and definitely returned to one of its best shapes in the current campaign.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are far from the championship class they demonstrated last year. The Blues have managed to lose in four of the last six rounds and will be difficult to qualify among the top four teams in the Premier League, which means they will have to compete in the Europa League, which is not their favorite tournament at all .
Hosts are most favored to continue in the next stage of the race. Leo Messi did not play the weekend for family reasons, but he will certainly be up against the "Londoners". Nelson Semedo missed the visit to Stamford Bridge, but will also be questioned about the rematch. Ernesto Valverde can not use Philippe Coutinho in this match and Iniesta has complaints.
Chelsea's camp is Thieme Bakayoko, David Luis and Ross Barkley. Eden Azar is likely to be in the middle and in this match, although Alvaro Morata and Giu are already available to Cote. The specialist is in dilemma whether to use Cesc Fabregas or to bet on a more defensive footballer like Danny Drinkwater, and Antonio Rugidier will replace Gary Kahil again.
