Barca players will have just seen draw and thought, o no not that lot again!! They won't fancy coming to the bridge, then second leg, hazard in the wide open spaces of the nou camp, I fancy this one big time, not worried about Barca so much but the referring might be an issue, UEFA will not want either Barca or real Madrid not in 1/4 finals, chance neither could be

Was to be expected really oh well never mind to be the best you have to beat the best iam treating this game with some classic carefree Chelsea and enjoy it while it lasts...Up the Chels!!!!

@chi blue agreed UEFA will be sh*tting themselves that their darlings won't be in the last eight, expect them pulling out the Turkish referee for the ties.

Barca will be sh*tting themselves too, we'd be the last team they wanted to face.

We knocked them out last time at their own place, with no defenders and 10 men so we will piss this.

Chelsea will play Barcelona twice, Manchester United away and Manchester City away in the space of three weeks.

Maybe they will bring Collina out of mothballs -- that would give us a great chance!

Was just coming here to post this.  Absolutely brutal 3 weeks.  

Cahill and Luiz can inspire the team with stories of huge battles and epic wins, and the players will start to dream and believe.

Pedro, Alonso, Morata, Azpilcueta and Fabregas will all be up for this one with plenty to prove back in their homeland.

You guys will probably be able to rest key players ahead of our clashes as you already dropped out of title race.

Um, no. That would be Bayern.

WE ARE CHELSEA
WE'LL WIN!

We've beaten a better barca team, with a worse chelsea team before, so I think we have a decent chance. How many games have we lost to barca with 11 men? 

Looking forward to it, would've been nice to get an easier draw, but it's done now. 

Fun fact: Messi has never scored against Thibaut 

I was quite relaxed about the possibility of us drawing Barca. But that was before our dismal showing at the weekend.

As always with Chelsea it will be down to which teams turns up. We can beat them no problem, but play like we did against West Ham, Palace, Roma etc and we might as well not bother.

Not really when English teams regard finishing in the top 4 as important as winning the league so there will be no resting of players. Barca are guaranteed to be in the Champions league.

Good to see both Manchester clubs keeping up the tradition of piss-easy draws.

Well they did top their groups, unlike us. 

PSG v Real Madrid
That's already going to kick a favourite out early.

Our match has tensions all over it.
Chelsea v Barcelona rivalry
Morata used to play for Real Madrid
Messi has never scored a goal against Thibaut
Fabregas and Pedro forced out of Barcelona due to not being good enough
Azpi key target for Barca
Alonso not yet making it in the Spanish national team
Barca replacing Neymar with Dembele and not Hazard

I can't wait to see how this is spin.

City away 3 days prior to the second leg is a real shame, Antonio will have to put out a B-team for that one. No such problems with West Brom at home prior to the first leg.

Reckon Messi is going to finally score against us. This team just doesn't have the spirit or the desire of previous teams.

Champions league has too many teams now, when you have Besiktas winning a group and some sh*t teams getting beat 6 or 7 nil it's abit of a joke.
