In Lucho we trust!
He would never play defensively at home and why would he? Chelski are just going to play 5 at the back, defend for their lives and try and hit on the counter or a set piece. Tonight is about patience, concentration and discipline. We must not get frustrated if we have a lot of possession and are not creating many chances, that is going to be Conte's game-plan. Remember that we go through if it is a 0-0 draw. If Chelski want to come and defend, then let them. They are the one's that have to score, not us.

You never know with Valverde. He may be pragmatic but he threw Dembélé in vs Juve after having played just 2 or 3 games for Barça. If you can compare an opponent we faced with Chelsea it definitely is Allegri's Juve. Not the formation, but the tactical approach. Okay, it was just a group game , but still.
Have mixed feelings about the game. Chelsea is always a tough tie and they did a pretty good job in London. However, Barça at Camp Nou is a different beast in CL and I feel the team has left those extra % they didn't give in the last games in easier games. They needed the GOAT to score a freekick to win vs Atléti though.

Dont trust EV at all, prepping for a slow game with sterile possesion and a whole lot of drama at the end.
W/o iniesta we'll turtle up like against atletico..which to some was an amazing tactical play by ev...to me it was bullshit on a bad day for atleti..
My trust is in messi and him alone...but playing the workhorse and getting eliminated will be agonizing to watch..

How anyone can possibly criticise Ernesto after the records he has set this season is a absolute joke.

Trust me, if we play boring football he will be sacked no matter the records, because an empty Camp Nou is not an option.

Comments how barca shoukd trash chelsea because they are bad in PL, city and united won against them...
Short reminder 2012, they sacked coach after group stages, they had old squad, di mateo as a coach, far from top 4 in PL, and they kicked barca out and they did it with 10 players on camp nou, and barca with superior squad back then
that was good lesson for me, chelsea just doesnt suit barca, and position in domestic legaue doesnt matter, so It will probably be though match again until the end and not many goals

You're welcome
People just looking for excuses to criticize Valverde. Even if we win 2-1 people can say it was a disappointing performance and another coach would have won 4-0 here.
