Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta says their former coach Luis Enrique would be a success at Chelsea.

Barca are at Stamford Bridge this week for the first-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie.

Iniesta, who played alongside his compatriot as a player, and under him as a manager, said: “Luis Enrique is an excellent coach.

“In Barcelona, he showed the incredible level he has reached and I think he could win trophies at any club – and that includes Chelsea. It won't be easy because Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world.

“But when you see what Enrique developed in Barcelona, then I think it is also possible in London. The Premier League is a tough competition but, for me, he is capable of managing any big English club."
