Barcelona ace Lionel Messi has welcomed their Champions League draw with Chelsea.
While Barca coach Ernesto Valverde has expressed some concern, describing the tie as "hard", Messi is far happier.
Inside the Blaugrana locker room, the players believe only two teams can match them in Europe this season - Pep Guardiola's Manchester City and Neymar's PSG.
And Don Balon says when it was announced Barca had been paired with Chelsea, there was some relief from Messi, happy to have avoided City and PSG until later in the competition.
Messi has already told friends he doesn't believe Chelsea are as strong as last season, particularly without Diego Costa, and do not boast any real stars - Eden Hazard apart.
There's a great confidence inside the dressing room already that Barca should be able to handle the Londoners when they meet in the New Year.
