Lampard fruktar Messi
Ashley Coles avstängning i första matchen mot Barcelona gör Frank Lampard orolig.
Ashley Cole fick gult kort mot Liverpool och är avstängd i första matchen mot Barcelona. Under säsongen har engelsmannen varit riktigt duktig och med tanke på att Barcelonas största hot Lionel Messi huserar på hans kant är naturligtvis frågan, vem som ska ersätta?
"Losing Ashley is a huge blow. He has been absolutely outstanding this season," sa Lampard
"Lionel Messi is the best player in the world by some distance at the moment and will be on the right wing. If you wanted anyone to play against him it would be Ash.
"Unfortunately he got a yellow card but we have to try and keep together, find someone to come in and do a good job against him for the team."
Lampard är dock säker på att Chelsea har en bra chans om de kan minimera de defensiva misstagen som gjordes mot Liverpool.
"We have to look back at the mistakes we make as a group in conceding goals. We have to be strong and we need to tighten up defensively.
"If we are going to beat Barcelona we need to play at the level we achieved in the first leg against Liverpool when we won 3-1.
"It will be a very tough game because of the way they're playing, but we know what to expect, particularly in the away leg.
"Barcelona are probably favourites at the moment because of the way they're playing, but being favourites doesn't mean you go through.
"Barcelona are the form team in Europe, if not the world. They've been like that all season so there can't be a tougher match for us in this competition."
