Boss Ernesto Valverde says that he feels "very positive" about Barcelona's 1-1 draw with Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in West London.
The Blues were heading towards a first-leg advantage following Willian's opener, only for La Liga leaders Barcelona to seize upon Andreas Christensen's loose pass and Lionel Messi to plunder his first career goal against Chelsea at the ninth attempt.
Nevertheless, Willian saw enough in Chelsea's performance at Stamford Bridge to suggest they can upset the odds in the second leg.
For Chelsea, the challenge is simple: all they have to do is produce their best performance in years in the Nou Camp on 14 March to beat Barcelona.
While the outcome of those matches will go a long way to deciding Chelsea's season, the Blues look back to normal.

"One mistake and we know very well when you make a mistake against Barcelona then players like Messi, [Luis] Suarez, and [Andres] Iniesta will make you pay". "We had the game under control when they scored their goal". We are talking about a player who is only 21 years old here.
