Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has opened up on his side’s plans to counter the fast-paced football that Chelsea will play in the Champions League.
Chelsea are gearing up for a tough first-leg Champions League Round of 16 tie at the Parc des Princes.
There has been plenty of hype from the media after the controversy surrounding the Club World Cup final, following the incident involving Luis Enrique and Joao Pedro.
This is a different manager now, so the past results go out the window. Luis Enrique has already rallied his troops, but it’ll be interesting to see how Liam Rosenior fares.
Interestingly, Bradley Barcola seems to think that PSG already know how Chelsea will come out.

Bradley Barcola predicts a fast start from Chelsea
Speaking alongside Luis Enrique in the PSG presser, Bradley Barcola shared that his side are well prepared for what is to come from Chelsea.
“They’re going to bring a lot of intensity. We’ve worked on that defensively and offensively, we’re ready.
“We don’t have any sense of revenge because it wasn’t the same period, nor the same competition. We know it’s a very good team. We know it’s going to be tough, but we’ve worked well. They’re in good form, they’re playing well. We really like these matches, the best ones to play.”
Barcola came on as a 59th-minute substitute for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, with PSG already trailing 3-0, but he’s since elevated himself at the club.
