Barca star 'going to London with great spirit and desire to fight'
Lionel Messi has warned UEFA Champions League opponents Chelsea that Barcelona's confidence is sky-high after their weekend 'El Clasico' success.
The Primera Division giants claimed a remarkable 6-2 victory over bitter rivals Real Madrid on Saturday to extend their lead at the summit to seven points.
Argentina star Messi, who netted a brace during the encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu, is now ready for Chelsea, with the semi-final tie delicately poised after a goalless first leg in Spain.
He said in
The Sun: "We will play in the same way against Chelsea as we did against Real and, playing like that, we will have many chances.
"If we do things as we did on Saturday then we will score and go through.
"This was a massive boost. We're going to London with great spirit and desire to fight and with a lot of belief that we'll go through.
"We've come out of this with a renewed confidence and strength."
