JT on Barcelona - "We can take it to them"

John Terry has taken the opportunity to speak of the fact that Chelsea are through to yet another encounter against Barcelona in the Champions League.

He is keen to point out that Chelsea are back on song winning games and we will take the game to Barcelona and have had success in the past in doing that.

He also is keen to speak of the fact that he is looking forward to facing "The best ever" Lionel Messi!.

'We've shown in the past couple of months just what we're all about as a side and a squad, To come back the way we did against Napoli, to go away to Benfica and win there and show that we're difficult to break down.

It's going to be very difficult to go to Barcelona but we know it will be very tough here at the Bridge. Because of the past four or five years, they're one of the best teams ever, but we're going pretty well ourselves, and it's important we keep that momentum and keep winning games.

They [games against Barcelona] have been some of my proudest memories as a Chelsea player. When they come here, especially, I feel we've shown we can take it to them a little bit.

Not many teams have really done that to them - you don't see it very often. Whether that will be the approach this time around is down to the manager. We've seen before that things can happen in five or 10 minutes. We went three up but they showed the ability to come right back in the tie [in 2005]. You can't predict anything but we all know they are a great side.

It's something for me that I can tell my kids that I've played against Messi when we watch him on television, because my kids just love him. It's one of those things; it's a pleasure to pit myself against him. When I finish and look back, and he will still be going strong, I will be able to say to myself I tested myself against the best and, quite clearly, for me, he is the best ever.

He's got everything. He is magical to watch but we've seen the way that collectively they can be stopped. We've shown that at the Bridge before, but of course other times they've torn teams apart. We know it's going to be tough but we're delighted to be in the position we're in. I know we've not actually lost any of the last five games against them - but I'll take it if that's the same after the next two as well.'
