Chelsea ace Eden Hazard is ready to test himself against Champions League opponents Barcelona and Lionel Messi.
Chelsea and Barca meet in the round of 16.
Hazard said: “It’s a great Champions League game. This season we haven’t been the same as last season, of course, and they are clearly very good, but at the end of the day it is a knock-out tie and you never know what might happen. That’s why we love football. I’m sure that we can beat them if we play together, we will see.”
On Messi he had no doubts: “Barça have a player who is not from this planet. He’s different, a class above, but that’s not just one player, it’s the whole team.”
