Chelsea director Antonio Conte trusts the English champions can do "something Incredible" by thumping Barcelona out of the Champions League at the Camp Nou on March 14, regardless of blowing a prompt draw the primary leg of their last-16 tie 1-1.

Willian offered motivation to a strong group determination from Conte on Tuesday by putting the English champions ahead soon after the hour check, having likewise hit the woodwork twice before half-time.

In any case, Barca jumped on an extremely uncommon Chelsea botch on the night as Andres Iniesta captured a slack go by Andreas Christensen and squared for Lionel Messi to opening home his first objective in nine appearances against Chelsea.

"We must be realistic. We are talking about Barcelona. They show tonight to be a strong, fantastic team," said Conte.
"We have showed that if we are ready to work very hard together defensively, but continue to have the right feeling when you win the ball when you have the chance to score, we can try to do something incredible at the Nou Camp."


Conte named a front three without a perceived focus forward with Willian and Pedro Rodriguez either side of Eden Hazard, while the 21-year-old Christensen began set up of club commander Gary Cahill.


What's more, Conte declined to stick the fault on the unpracticed Dane for yielding.

"I think it was a great performance, an incredible performance," added Conte.
"We're talking about a player he's only 21. It's great that he can play this game with this maturity. I am very happy. For me he was one of the best players tonight."

Barcelona delighted in almost 70 percent of the ownership, yet did not have the infiltration to open up Chelsea's efficient guard.

"At times it seemed like a handball match, because they sat back and waited," said Barca midfielder Ivan Rakitic.
"It is difficult when they have eight players behind the ball."

In any case, Conte shielded his strategies, saying it would be "crazy" to approach confronting Barcelona some other way.

"When you play against Barcelona you know very well that if you want to face them box-to-box then you are crazy and you go to lose the game, not 1-0, (but) 4, 5, 6-0," said Conte.
"You must play with intelligence, especially if you know that (Barca) level is up on us. You must play an intelligent game, we are not stupid."

Chelsea's previous Barca midfielder Cesc Fabregas, however, focused on the significance of going to Catalonia in three weeks with assaulting aim instead of simply attempting to keep Barcelona under control for whatever length of time that conceivable.

"We have to go there to attack and score because 90 minutes defending at the Nou Camp is an eternity," said Fabregas, who played for Barca between 2011 and 2014. "It is a suicide mission."

Messi's objective was the initial a Barcelona player has scored in an away Champions League coordinate for six amusements.

Also, while Barca supervisor Ernesto Valverde respected the slight preferred standpoint picked up from a sub-standard execution, he cautioned Chelsea have the risk on the counter-assault to in any case arrive a knockout blow.

"It is very important to have scored here and logically both teams will respect their own style in the second leg. They have the attacking resources to cause us problems.
"It is important to have the advantage, but it is far from decided."
