Cech ready for Barcelona

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech admits he is ready for the Champions League semi-final clash with Barcelona.

The Blues are through to the semi-finals after a dramatic progression past Liverpool.

“We need to defend better, much better [against Barca],” he told Setanta Sports News.

“You can feel the emotions, you’re down and up and down again. It’s not easy to handle the pressure or emotions, you have to be strong mentally.

“Even in difficult moments that’s why we managed to draw the game.

“We want to go all the way because once you lose the final you always want another chance to go and win it.

“This is the first opportunity to forget the defeat in Moscow and I think we have had to do it in the toughest possible way.

“We had to defeat Juventus, and had to defeat Liverpool – two of the best teams in Europe – and now we have possibly the best team in the world.”
