LONDON - Chelsea manager Antonio Conte believes the English champion can do "something incredible" by knocking Barcelona out of the Champions League at Camp Nou on March 14, despite blowing a lead to draw the first leg of its last-16 tie 1-1 on Tuesday.
Willian vindicated Conte's bold team selection by putting the Londoners ahead just after the hour mark, having also hit the woodwork twice before halftime.
However, Barca pounced on a very rare Chelsea mistake on the night as Andres Iniesta intercepted a slack Andreas Christensen pass and squared for Lionel Messi to slot home his first goal in nine appearances against the Blues.
