Attacking midfielder Chelsea Eden Azar is convinced that they are able to leave Barcelona behind the Champions League.

"I think all matches are always difficult, but when you play in the Champions League, they are even more difficult, because you have the strongest teams in Europe. This season, Barca - one of the best teams in the world. I hope Chelsea will show themselves in matches with her from the best side, at home and away, "Azar said..

"We must defend ourselves as one whole. Otherwise, in the match with Barca, we are faced with problems. It is necessary to defend all together. We have players who love to play with the ball. We must try to score ".

"It's great when you are compared to the best players in history, Messi and Ronaldo. I'm different, very different. We play in different championships. I try to do my job, to reach their level, because they are the best on the planet. Every season I do everything that depends on me. If you want to be the best in the world, you have to prove it in top matches. Let's try".

"For the sake of such meetings we play football. We are Chelsea, we are the champions of England. We are ready for the game and we can beat Barcelona if we want to ".

"In every match I try to demonstrate my best game. Last season we did not participate in the Champions League, but returned now. I already had a couple of good meetings. For example, visiting Atletico, and then with him at home. When you fight with the best, you want to shine on their background. If I want to go to this level, then tomorrow I need to hold a good match ".

"We feel comfortable. The first match we hold at home, and give all our strength. Of course, Barca is one of the best clubs in the world. In the past, she experienced problems in the games with Chelsea, and, I hope, tomorrow the story will repeat ".

The match between Chelsea and Barcelona will be held on Tuesday, February 20. The beginning of the meeting at 21:45 Kiev time.
