Messi has moved from 78 goals to 243 from the last time Chelsea played Barcelona.

Yeah, I've noticed that, thanks. He hasn't had a great record on English turf either, well he is never himself on English turf.

Messi has been nothing against Chelsea the four times I watched him against us. There will be no 'lucky win'. I have confidence tonight after an impressive performance weekend. Nou Camp will be very tough so we need to get a good lead and try not to concede. COME ON CHELSEA!

Messi is a much better player than last time. Chelsea are a worse side than last time. You need to play out of your skins, and have some luck.

Yeah of course we need to play out of our skins. Barcelona are a quality team but I don't believe in 'luck' as such.

When Messi played Chelsea last time, he was gearing up for 50 goals per season. Now he is completely different player and plays much more central, drop deeper and moves all over the place.

Barca have upped their pressing game better than it was in 2009 and Chelsea have regressed. I'm not ruling our Chelsea, but the way it has panned out since 2009 it all points to obvious answer.

Yeah he is a completely different player, I agree. He isn't a player you can cancel out easily. Our defence has to play their socks off today to keep a clean sheet, no silly mistakes. Need to be organised much like we was with Mourinho. Do this and we're in a chance of winning.
 
Mainly hoping for a good match tonight and then an entertaining return leg. Would prefer Barca to win but don't really mind too much either way

think tonight it could be quite cagey, return leg will be more entertaining probably

It all depends on the score, if Chelsea win 2-0. They will most probably defend for second leg but it wouldn't be wise if they done that though. The best form of defence is attack.
 
Tonight will be a boring game (I'm hoping so anyway). We'll probably play a slow game and hoof it to Drogs if he plays, much like Sunday and try and keep Barca's away goals down.
Quietly confident about tonight, I can see a score draw or a Chelsea win. Obviously from my non-bias opinion.

Historically this game is great for the neutrals, not so good for fans..

can't see you keeping a clean sheet tonight tbh
 
Going by our defensive record at home this season, I can see us conceding a few tonight. Despite the result at the weekend, I'm not really expecting to come away with anything.

Hopefully we just put in a decent shift and give ourselves a reasonable chance come next week.

He played very well last year at wembley, against Man Utd. And scored a goal. In a european final... Not very good record on English turf?

Did you see Luiz against Tottenham? He was absolutely awful.

Have faith in Cahill and Terry, they can do a perfectly good job if they play to their best ability.

Tempting fate by saying that, might just bet on a Messi Hat-Trick now ;)

How was he awful?? Got caught out for the goal but then again so did the whole defence as they were too pushed up. What else did he do that was so poor??

Yes and if he does that against Barca it is game over pretty much, Barca will exploit Luiz positioning in a flash if he is lacklustre like he was against Tottenham. Cahill is a much safer bet in my opinion, Luiz composure lets himself down a lot of the time, a few mistakes against Barca and the tie is probably over.
 
Hope we dont have to see another famous referee blunders and hope the better team wins.I hope chelsea win 2-1 and i predict solid drama by barca tonight.

I thought Luiz was pretty good, the whole team played well to be fair.
