tribalfootball.com - February 16, 2006
Barcelona wing-back Gio van Bronckhorst admits he's desperate to dump Chelsea out of the Champions League.
"I have played in Scotland [with Rangers] and at Arsenal, and I was never sympathetic towards Chelsea," Van Bronckhorst said. "After what happened last year in the Champions' League my attitude toward the Blues got worse.
"For Barcelona, the game against Chelsea is very special," added Van Bronckhorst. "We all remember when we got knocked out last year and it is something that still hurts and something that we want to clear up once and for all for everybody. This year, we want to go through.
"At present we can address Chelsea without any worries. Perhaps we are one of the few sides in the world who can say and do this. They talk of [Didier] Drogba and [Hernan] Crespo but Barcelona are capable of assembling three or four men in attack who would absolutely guarantee scoring. I don't know if Chelsea have this.
"Between Drogba and Crespo I would choose Crespo but, at this moment, Samuel Eto'o is above both of them. He has returned from the African Cup of Nations angry for not having won with Cameroon and has sworn that Chelsea will pay the consequences."
