Lionel Messi to be the centre of attention at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea will face Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League this week and the Argentine No 10 will be in the centre of attention. Messi is yet to score in eight meetings with Chelsea and he has to do something he’s never done before. The last clash Messi came very close was in the 2012 semi-final when he striked the bar from the penalty spot that cost Barca a place in the final. Former Sampdoria and AC Milan manager Ruud Guilt is confident Chelsea need to concentrate  elsewhere rather than on  Messi if they take into consideration eight previous meetings. 'You don't stop Messi, you don't stop him. That's not the point,' the Dutch legend told Sportsmail. 'The point is, when he's got the ball, to keep an eye on the people running. They run and they cut in very fast - that's what you need to do. That's key,' he said.
