There are several Chelsea players Barcelona should fear ahead of their trip to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.
Barcelona take on Chelsea in the Champions League and will have to watch out for the likes of Pedro Neto and Joao Pedro.
Neto put in another great performance against Burnley on Saturday, scoring his side’s opener in a 2-0 win.
Will Chelsea beat Barcelona in the Champions League?
However, it is actually a defender Barcelona may have to be extremely wary of when the game kicks off at Stamford Bridge.

Marc Cucurella scored against Barcelona for Eibar in 2019
Playing in his native Spain before moving to England, Marc Cucurella has faced and punished Barcelona before.
In a 2-2 draw between the Spanish giants and Eibar in the 2018/19 season, Cucurella managed to get his name on the scoresheet.
Lionel Messi also found the back of the net that day, bagging two goals. But thanks to Cucurella and Pablo de Blasis, the underdogs were able to secure a draw.
Cucurella registered an assist for Spain in the last international break, and Enzo Maresca will now be hoping that he can do the same or score a goal himself against Barcelona on Tuesday.
The left-back scored seven times in all competitions last season and is allowed to get into the box under Maresca. Do not rule out the above!

Chelsea and Barcelona both set to be missing key players on Tuesday
While Cucurella is a shoo-in to start in the Chelsea and Barcelona tie, Cole Palmer will be absent from the game.
Palmer has injured himself again and will now miss the visit of Hansi Flick’s side. The attacking midfielder was closing in on a return from a groin problem but fractured his toe in a freak accident at home.
As for Barcelona, they will be missing Pedri in a blow to Flick. It should still be an exciting match, though, with there being many other top players to watch, including Cucurella.
