'I was thinking towards double figures... I couldn't get near Iniesta and Xavi!': Frank Lampard recalls fearing the worst when 10-man Chelsea went 2-0 down before historic comeback against Barcelona in 2012

Frank Lampard has recalled how he feared Barcelona would reach double figures after they took a 2-0 lead against a 10-man Chelsea side in 2012.

The Blues' 1-0 advantage from the first leg was eradicated when Sergio Busquets gave the hosts the lead before John Terry's sending off left them with a mountain to climb.

Andreas Iniesta grabbed a second goal for Barca shortly after and the LaLiga side looked to be in complete control as the game edged towards half-time.
