Confidence, illusion and a lot of concentration. It is what will need the FC Barcelona to bend to Chelsea this Tuesday in Stamford Bridge, stage to the that will return after having lived one of the most magic moments of the history culé in 2009, when Iniesta certified the pass to the final of the Champions 2008-09 in front of the Manchester United. The Barcelona is especially motivated for encarrilar with the best game and possible result the eliminatory of eighth of final already in the commitment of gone, with the effectiveness of Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the flank of attack and the presence, in general lines, of an eleven of gala in which it will not be able to be Coutinho by fault of the norms of the UEFA.

If we speak of drops, can not say that Chelsea neither Barcelona arrive especially prejudiced. David Luiz and Bakayoko are the absences 'blues', whereas Coutinho will be the most stood out drop of a FC Barcelona that has recovered to Vermaelen. It will be a special party for Leo Messi, that never has achieved to mark to Chelsea in Stamford Bridge and that has seen how Courtois has kept him always to line in the last direct clashes that has had expensive to face with him. The priority, to global level, will be to achieve a good result to start with to encarrilar the eliminatory and finish it, if possible, of here to some weeks in the Camp Nou.

Whereas the dynamics of the Barça is being practically spotless this season, Chelsea has suffered a lot of altibajos of game and results that have made him impossible to struggle with the Manchester City by the title of the Premier League, concentrating his maximum illusion in the FA Cup and in the Champions League. In the Barça, so only the last ties and some that another bad arbitration have blurred the Barcelona path, although after all the fact that the team have not lost still in what it goes of season, without explaining the Supercopa of Spain against the Real Madrid, without place to doubts is a data that has to fall like a vase of cold water to Chelsea.

With Messi, Suárez and Valverde, everything is possible

This, joined to the balance demoledor of the Barça in attack and the presence of the best player of the world, Leo Messi, plants to the Barcelona group like clear favourite to happen to the following round. André Gomes could give the surprise in the alignment title of the FC Barcelona, although Paulinho and Dembélé also are feasible alternatives for Valverde in his individual 4-4-2. By part of Chelsea, expects the traditional 3-5-2 that Antonio Conte is using with assiduity to ensure not fitting too many goals, with Morata or Giroud in tip.

Eden Hazard boasts like the main quebradero of head for the FC Barcelona, although with the saga 'of gala' and Ter Stegen in the goal, the fan culé can be very calm. The main key will be to go in well in the party and that the staged was not as the ones of the year happened in front of PSG and Juventus in Paris and Turín, of where the Barça went out goleado. The Turkish referee Cüneyt Çakir will be the attendant to give justice. We will see if, with European arbitration instead of Spanish, the Barcelona improves -or no- even more his provision. Although, it was cual was the result, there will be time for excuses neither celebrations. It touches to play and enamorar in London.
