Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, has backed his
former team, Chelsea to beat Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League
second leg tie of round 16.
The Blues have a difficult task to defeat the La Liga league leaders , having drawn 1-1 at home in the first leg.
Mikel
believes Antonio Conte’s men can take inspiration from Chelsea’s 2012
Champions League triumph when they defeated the Catalan club in the
semis.
“I
have been played [sic] for Chelsea for 11 years and that comeback I
will remember for the rest of my life,” Mikel told Tianjin Today Evening
News.
“Obviously I will continue to support Chelsea as always and hopefully they will go through into the next round.
“I believe they will knock out Barcelona on their own ground, just like we did in 2012.”
The return leg at Camp Nou is set for March 14.
