Barcelona's Xavi brands Chelsea boring

Barcelona midfielder Xavi says Champions League rivals Chelsea are a bore.

"They play a very effective game, but perhaps you could it is not the most beautiful to watch," said Xavi.

"We know what Chelsea are about. They are about playing physical and tough football - we like to play football a little bit more beautiful than that.

"If we play football our way and at our pace, we know we will be very difficult to beat.

"It is not the Barcelona way to change our game just because some teams play tough football.

"We can out-pass you and we can out-think you - that is our brand of football."
