Former Chelsea and Barcelona star Eidur Gudjohnsen feels the Blues can hold Barca this week and reach the Champions League final.

The Londoners pulled off a stunning 1-0 victory over Pep Guardiola's side last week in the first leg of their semi-final clash at Stamford Bridge, with Didier Drogba netting the only goal of the game.
The two sides will do it again at the Nou Camp on Tuesday with Roberto di Matteo's charges needing to draw the match to reach their second final in Europe's elite club competition.
It is a tough ask for Chelsea given Barca's superb record at home and the fact that they will be looking for revenge for the defeat in London and the loss to Real Madrid at the weekend.
But Gudjohnsen feels they are capable of getting the right result this week if they can maintain their discipline.
"Chelsea have given themselves great hope by the way they defended at Stamford Bridge," he said. "They rode their luck a little bit but they believe they can win.
"At Stamford Bridge they were very tactically organised. They limited the space for Barcelona to play in. They will need to do that for 90 minutes in the Nou Camp. It is a very difficult task but they have done it once."
