MATCH DETAILS:
In the first fight at the “Stamford Bridge” Valverde tactically lost to Chelsea. The Londoners practically did not allow the Spaniards to create moments, and the goal scored could be considered quite successful. At the same time, Catalans could miss more than once. So a 1: 1 draw is an excellent result for Barcelona, considering how the “blue-pomegranate” played.
Home wards Valverde will play in another football. It is unlikely that it will be spectacular, because with the current coach, the Catalans play a more pragmatic football, which is accented more on the result. This tactic in the home arena has not yet failed, neither in the Example, nor in the Champions League. In the European Cup the Catalans in the group stage won all three matches – Juventus 3-0, Olympiakos 3-1 and Sporting 2-0.
For “Chelsea” is not all lost, but for this you must definitely score in Barcelona. The history of the opposition between rivals in the Champions League is quite rich. Earlier with scoring goals on the road away from the British was not. “Chelsea” scored in the gates of “Barcelona” at the “Camp Nou” in four of the five previous fights. How will it be under Conte?
In the last guest matches, “aristocrats” looked unconvincing. Chelsea lost 2-1 to Arsenal in the League Cup, after which they suffered three consecutive defeats in the championship – from Watford 1: 4, Manchester United 1-2 and Manchester City 0-1.
