vCash: 500 | Laporta looking for revenge Barcelona president Joan Laporta wants revenge for last season's Champions League exit when his club take on Chelsea in the last 16. The Spanish and English champions were paired at the same stage last season with the Stamford Bridge club going through 5-4 on aggregate after an acrimonious tie over two legs. Laporta vowed he wanted revenge for the Nou Camp club and its fans after the two clubs were paired when UEFA made the draw in Nyon, Switzerland. "Like thousands and thousands of Catalans, I want sporting revenge for what was a totally unjust defeat in the Champions League last season," said Laporta. "We didn't deserve to lose to Chelsea. I want to put them out in this round because that's the stage they unjustly eliminated us last season and that would constitute revenge. "Beating Chelsea now in the last 16 would be much better than doing so in a later knockout stage or the final. "The dream is to knock Chelsea out, get to the final and then beat Real Madrid to win the Champions League." |
