It’s that time again… Barcelona versus Chelsea. Barcelona fans will remember the heartbreak suffered at the hands of Fernando Torres in 2012 when he rounded Victor Valdes, and sank all our collective hearts. It seems as though the previous knockout stage match-ups have led to great intrigue, fantastic games (who can ever forget the Andres Iniesta one timer into the top right corner), and critical moments for the histories of both clubs. While the players and coaches have changed, this year’s fixture is guaranteed to be a quality match-up.
One major talking point leading up to the two legs is of course, Lionel Messi.
