Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto: We expected to get Chelsea

Barcelona midfielder Sergi Roberto insists they're happy over their Champions League draw with Chelsea.

Barca and Chelsea will now meet in the round of 16.

Roberto expected to play against the west Londoners, given the high probability of drawing them.

"There was a big chance that Chelsea would be drawn against us," he said on Monday afternoon, during the presentation of the fair play prize given by the 'Barça Jugadors' Association.

"We have a lot of desire, we already know that at this stage of the competition all the rivals are very difficult and we are looking forward to playing those games."
