The retired Dutchman has confidently expressed the belief that La Blaugrana will have little difficulty in eliminating their Champions League semi-final opponents.
Barcelona legend, Johan Cruyff, has stated that Pep Guardiola’s men are bound to reach the final of the prestigious European competition.
He emphasized that the Catalan giants have the ability to defeat English Premier League side, Chelsea.
The current UEFA Champions League title holders were humbled 1-0 by the Blues in the first leg of the semi-final. The match, which took place at the Stamford Bridge, was a hard-fought contest which ended in favour of the home side.
Although Barca performed with their usual brilliance, they were unable to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes of the match. Chelsea, who had a lucky break when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramires-c30523, managed
to keep their one-goal advantage until the final whistle.
Given the result of the first-leg, many have predicted that the English side are in the driving seat and their 1-0 advantage may prove to be enough to book them a place in the final at Allianz Arena.
However, Cruyff has spoken in contradiction to such speculations and has maintained that Barca will emerge victorious when the Blues visit the Catalan capital.
Over the past couple of years, La Blaugrana have proven themselves to be a powerhouse both, inside http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 and the rest of Europe.
With outstanding performances on a consistent basis, Pep Guardiola’s men have become the team to beat in the modern game.
Consequently, it is likely for Chelsea to face difficulty when they take up the challenge of knocking out the footballing juggernauts.
In his weekly column for De Telegraaf, Johan Cruyff wrote:
"I still think Barcelona will beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 have now lost two games in a row, I expect another good game from them at Camp Nou.”
"They will get plenty of chances again in the return versus Chelsea, and I don't think they will again fail to find the net.”
Barcelona against Chelsea at the Nou Camp kicks off on Tuesday.
