5 reasons why Barcelona will destroy Chelsea in the Champions League

#4 Barcelona attack too good for struggling Chelsea back line

There is no stopping Messi and Suarez at the moment

Lionel Messi is in stunning form this season. The Argentine has scored 26 goals and assisted 11 more for Barcelona this campaign. Luis Suarez has hit his peak at the right time in the season after a subdued start. The Uruguayan has scored 13 goals in his last 13 games for Barcelona. The arrival of Philippe Coutinho and the return of Ousmane Dembele from injury will give a lot of options for Ernesto Valverde in the attack.

On the other hand, usually solid Antonio Conte’s defense is showing a lot of cracks. David Luiz is struggling while Antonio Ruediger does not look comfortable either. Cesar Azpilicueta is the only consistent performer for Conte at the back and Christensen is looking tired after making 30 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea this season. Gary Cahill was dropped to the bench against West Bromwich after a poor performance against Watford.
