UEFA Champions League:
Handicap
Chelsea vs Barcelona
0 : 0
Over / Under 2 1/2
Andres Iniesta believes that Chelsea will fall victim to beautiful Spanish football at Stamford Bridge.
Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has promised that his team will put the pressure on Chelsea to the same degree that led to the 6-2 destruction of Real Madrid in Saturday's La Liga clash at the Bernabeu.
The Spain international has been quoted by the Mail as saying that the attacking prowess of Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi and Thierry Henry will be the bane of the Blues as the teams face off on Wednesday in London.
"We will be thinking, 'Attack, attack, attack'. That is the Barcelona way," claimed Iniesta.
"Chelsea play football the way they want to, and they have had success that way. But we will not play their game.

"It is hard to play beautiful football when the other team are not playing beautiful football themselves. We think beautiful football is the only way the game should be played."
Iniesta is of course referring to the defensive approach that Guus Hiddink opted to utilize during last week's Champions League tie between the teams at Camp Nou.
"They play it very tough and have some tough players. I think the referee
will need to have a good game so that we can play our flowing football," continued the 24-year-old.
"We can’t allow the way they approach a match to affect our approach. We will not compromise our system for any team in the world, and Chelsea are no different."
