Barcelona causing Conte sleepless nights

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed he has suffered sleepless nights plotting the downfall of Barcelona and Lionel Messi.

The Blues host the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against the Catalan giants at Stamford Bridge tonight, looking to maintain their impressive record against Messi’s men.

Barcelona’s history against Chelsea is best summed up by their semi-final meeting in this competition in 2012, when they surrendered a two-goal lead to crash out at the Camp Nou, as Roberto Di Matteo’s side went on to lift the Champions League for the first time.
