    It promises to be a great atmosphere this evening:

    The players are out on the pitch and we'll be underway shortly!
  • PRVW
    Four of Chelsea 12 red cards in the Champions League have come against Barcelona, can they keep a full compliemnt on the pitch tonight?
  • PRVW
    A 0-0 draw or Barca victory would see the Catalans through, whilst Chelsea need a score draw of 2-2 or higher or a victory to qualify. A 1-1 draw would bring extra-time.

    We're just 15 minutes from kick-off here!
