After battling out an entertaining 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge at the end of February, the last-16 tie hangs in the balance with Chelsea looking to keep up their chase for a piece of silverware this season.

Willian, who could have easily had a hat-trick on the night, scored Chelsea’s goal before Lionel Messi found a late equaliser. 

The Brazilian travelled with the squad and is expected to start against Valverde’s Barca side on Wednesday night.
