Mikel Backs Chelsea To Beat Barcelona At Camp Nou
Nigerian midfielder John Obi Mikel has backed his former team Chelsea
to overcome Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League.
The Blues have an uphill task to oust the Spaniards from the
competition, having drawn 1-1 at home at Stamford Bridge in the first
leg.
The return leg at Camp Nou is set for March 14, and Tianjin Teda
player Mikel believes Antonio Conteās men can take inspiration from
Chelseaās 2012 Champions League triumph when they defeated Barca in
the semis.
“I have been played [sic] for Chelsea for 11 years and that comeback I
will remember for the rest of my life,” Mikel told Tianjin Today
Evening News.
“Obviously I will continue to support Chelsea as always and hopefully
they will go through into the next round.
“I believe they will knock out Barcelona on their own ground, just
like we did in 2012.”
