Chelsea v Barcelona: What has been said?

After securing their place in the final, Chelsea boss Emma Hayes said: “I’ve wanted this so badly. We’re there, we’re in the final.

“I’ve learned over the years that, of course I want to win the final, but I am going to acknowledge the achievement of making history getting there because we put thousands of hours into what we do and I’m going to have a nice evening.

“I’m overwhelmed with emotion. I can’t describe it. I almost can’t let the tears go. How do you describe the pride you have for the club you represent, for the people you represent? I’m a very maternal figure in here and I’m so happy for everyone.

“I said this time last year the Champions League final will be Chelsea-Barcelona. That’s what I told my head of performance and he said why them. I said it’s either them or PSG, and if we avoid PSG or Barcelona then I fancy us.

“I am happy to play Barcelona in a one-off game in a neutral venue. Spanish teams are tricky, we know how well they possess the ball. But I know how much talent we’ve got. 

“We’re going there to win it.”
