The head coach of "Barcelona" Ernesto Valverde is eagerly awaiting the match against London's "Chelsea". Tonight the final two teams of the quarter-finals will be revealed in the UEFA Champions League. The most interesting match will take place in Barcelona, where the local "Barcelona" will once again face the champions of England. The first match in London ended in a draw of 1-1, so technically the Catalans only need to play out another draw. However, "Barca" has not played a single match this season at the "Camp Nou" stadium without scoring a goal, and the same is expected today. "In the first match, we saw the versatility of 'Chelsea'," - said the coach. - "We truly don't know what playing style they will choose - defend or attack - it will probably depend only on the result". "The result of the first match is positive for our team, but we have to remain ourselves and play our game. 'Chelsea' is a team that can shine at any moment. They can change their game plan at any time - they have already shown that in London. When this team retreats and defends aggressively, breaking through their backline is very difficult. Perhaps one way to overcome their defense is high pressure, but we know how dangerous they are on counterattacks. We must be especially careful against 'Chelsea'. Set pieces and fast counterattacks are their main weapons. We are facing a real challenge," - added E. Valverde.
