ASHLEY COLE insists Chelsea have the inside track on how to beat Barcelona.
Barca travel to Stamford Bridge tomorrow for the first leg of their blockbuster Champions League semi-final.And Cole reckons the Blues are savvy enough to see off a side who are seen as one of the top club teams in history.
The England star said: “We know what Barcelona are about and that we have to be on our game. We’re confident and feel we’re good enough to progress.
“I do think that while they’re not worried about us, out of the teams they’ve played in the Champions League and the Premier League sides they’ve faced, we have given them the hardest run.
“We’re a tough team, we never give up. We fight for every ball, we’re strong in tackles and hopefully that will be in the back of their minds and we can take advantage of that.
“With teams like Barca, we think we know how to stop them. Is it going to happen on the day? You never know. If people like Lionel Messi don’t turn up we have a great chance.”
Chelsea were left heartbroken when Barca knocked them out of the semis three years ago.
