Andres Iniesta is looking forward to a special return to Stamford Bridge. The Catalan giants and the Premier League champions will go head-to-head in the last 16 this season.
Upon being presented with a photo of his goal against Chelsea, Iniesta told Mundo Deportivo: “Every time I have to opportunity to see it I get emotional, as I imagine happens for the vast majority of ‘cules’, about one of the most incredible days we have lived, but the present tells me it will be a special and very tough knockout match.
“Chelsea are a very solid team in every way. Conte’s teams are very difficult to beat – we have seen it at club and international level.
“They know very well what they should do and how they play. We will have to have a great tie to advance [to the next stage].”
Iniesta is looking forward to taking on Conte’s side but acknowledged Barcelona will have to be at their best to eliminate them.
