Barca next for Blues

Chelsea face a rematch against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The sides met at the same stage of last season’s competition, with Jose Mourinho’s side emerging triumphant over the two legs.

Mourinho was forced to serve a two-match touchline ban after he accused Barca coach Frank Rijkaard of meeting with referee Anders Frisk in the official’s dressing room at half-time of the first leg at the Nou Camp.

Arsenal will face Real Madrid in their last 16 tie, with the first leg to be played at the Bernabeu.

It means an English match-up for David Beckham and co, while Gunners boss Arsene Wenger, recently linked with the coaching job at Real, will be able to give them a first-hand glimpse of his tactical nous.
