Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta is ready to go to Chelsea next week for their Champions League clash.

Iniesta is looking forward to taking on Antonio Conte's side, but acknowledged Barcelona will have to be at their best to eliminate them.

He told Mundo Deportivo: "The present tells me it will be a special and very tough knockout match.

"Chelsea are a very solid team in every way. Conte's teams are very difficult to beat - we have seen it at club and international level.

"They know very well what they should do and how they play. We will have to have a great tie to advance [to the next stage]."
