Ricardo Carvalho insists Chelsea will not be distracted tonight by Jose Mourinho’s feud with Barcelona's fans.

Blues boss Mourinho has been the target of abuse for Barca supporters since he arrived in Spain on Sunday.

He was spat at and insulted at Barcelona Airport and confronted again outside the team hotel, but the Chelsea players have not been affected by the drama.

Carvalho said: “It’s more difficult for him, because he is the one having the problems going through the airport.

“The players don’t have so many problems. There were some badly-behaved people, but there were only a few of them doing things out of place.

“The atmosphere in the squad is good, and we are confident. It was difficult in the first leg but our goal is still to reach the next stage of the competition, and we are here to try.”
