Former Chelsea star, Frank Leboeuf, has named three Chelsea stars to kill Barcelona when both sides meet in the Champions League on Tuesday.
He noted that the ‘insane’ approach being deployed by Barça coach, Hansi Flick would open the door for Chelsea to beat them.
Barca are in London this evening where they would play Premier League second placed team, Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
While Chelsea are currently behind Arsenal with six point Barca are also second in La Liga, one point behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
The La Liga title holders are, however 11th in the Champions League group phase, level on points with 12th-placed Chelsea.
Both Barca and Chelsea are fighting to enter the top eight of the of the Group Phase will be keen to climb up the table with four group games remaining.
Chelsea have been victorious in their last eight games in all competitions and this gives Leboeuf the confidence to back his former side to kill Barca.
“I saw the last goal they[Barça] conceded over the weekend. And I say it’s impossible to play that high line when the players don’t even have sight.
“They’re on their own, the opponent, they’re on their own off of the pitch and they play the high line at the half of the pitch, that’s insane.
“With Alejandro Garnacho, with Pedro Neto, with Joao Pedro, they’re fast. It’s like Paris Saint-Germain, they kill them. Because you don’t play it like that, it’s impossible.
“So it worked last season, because they were effective at front, and they were scoring more goals than they conceded, but this season they’re fragile, so it’s possible.”
