Rakitic: We will go out to score and win

1 month ago  Raphael   Sport News

Barcelona midfielder Ivan Rakitic said they will take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge looking to win the match and not thinking that there is a return leg at the Camp Nou.

The Catalan side have slowed down in recent weeks after an emphatic start to the season and will now need to be at their best for the crunch Champions League tie.

Tiredness was put forward as an explanation following two draws in LaLiga but they had the luxury of no midweek game before their hard worked victory over Eibar at the weekend.

"We need to play the game without thinking about what will happen in Barcelona," said Rakitic."We need to play the best game that we can, try to win and score. The idea is to go out to win and after that we will see what happens.

"Messi is in good form, I have never seen him look after himself so much in the gym. He is giving his all in order to be in shape and that helps us a lot. We need him, and hopefully he will play all the games here at Barcelona before going to the World Cup."

Barcelona will look to enforce their style on the game and Rakitic sees Hazard as their main threat."We want to manage what happens on the pitch, we can improve a lot of things clearly," continued the Croat.

"We are up against the best team in England and in a special stadium. We want to win without thinking about the return leg, we are very motivated.

"(Hazard) Is the most important Chelsea player but there are also others and we will do our best to stop him. We have to be well prepared because it will also be an important game for him."
