Gerard Pique warns of the dangers Chelsea pose Barca
The defender spoke at an event held by the club to present the deal with Beko
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique warned of the dangers his side might face in London when they play Chelsea on Tuesday. Pique also wanted to reduce the climate of optimism supporters have regarding the team at this point in the season.
Pique, speaking at the event set up by the club to announce the renewal of a sponsorship deal with Beko, said: "Expectations are maximum. We go out as favourites, with a chance to win. I know the atmosphere is positive, very favourable, everything looks good, but I think we have to be more prudent. We have to learn from experience, what has happened in recent years and know that one bad day could see you knocked out of the Champions League. A bad result against Chelsea could turn the good season we are having into one that's not so good."
In that sense, Pique added: "That's why we have to go there with iron feet. We know where we are, in La Liga and in the cup we're in a good position, and now we have to do it in the Champions League. That's why we will play Chelsea with the aim of getting a good result, to try to win to take the first step in this tie."
