Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde says Chelsea have a big advantage

That’s the view of Barca boss Ernesto Valverde.

The Blues host the Spanish giants on Tuesday evening in the Champions League Round of 16.

Chelsea come into the clash on the back of their 4-0 win against Hull last night in the FA Cup fifth round at Stamford Bridge.

Barca, meanwhile, travel to Eibar in La Liga this afternoon (3:15pm kick-off).

And Valverde says Chelsea’s extra day of rest will give Antonio Conte’s side the advantage ahead of the tie.

“It is more mental than physical, the weeks when you have four days rest you can manage better than three,” said Valverde.

• “We will have three before we take on Chelsea and Chelsea will have four.

“That day extra, to have a break from the pressure of staying in the cup is good to have.

“But in terms of important games, the one on Saturday is also and we are not thinking about Chelsea.

“The week was free and now we have games again after each other.

“We need to get going again and after the Getafe game this is now even more important.”
