Barça have happy memories from their trips to London

On Tuesday, Valverde's players won't be alone at Stamford Bridge

The Champions League continued to unite Barcelona and London. The city where the Blaugrana won their first European Cup with Ronald Koeman's goal against Sampdoria in 1992 has been a happy place for the Catalan side this century, too. 

On Tuesday, once again, Barça will try to maintain their romance in a city in which they have experience painful defeats and epic triumphs (or draws, like the 'Iniestazo'). 

Barça will not be alone at Stamford Bridge when they take on Chelsea on Tuesday. There will be around 2,000 supporters in the English capital for the first leg of the round of 16 tie. In addition, there will be a meet-up of supporters from more than 150 different supporters' groups. 

On Tuesday, from 14.30, the meeting is planned for the legendary Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain by Picadilly Circus. Close to there, Riley's Sport Bar Haymarket will kick off the preview to the game by getting together fans from both clubs. All to raise the atmosphere in the leade up to kick off later that evening.
