Abraham would welcome Barcelona draw for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham would relish the challenge of playing a team like Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Abraham opened the scoring as Chelsea finished their Group H campaign with a 2-1 victory over Lille at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, but Valencia s 1-0 win at Ajax meant the Blues had to settle for second place.

Frank Lampard s side will consequently take on a team that topped their section in the first knockout round.

England international Abraham is keen to test himself somewhere new, with Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barca and RB Leipzig their potential opponents in the last 16.

This is exciting, very exciting. We re never ones to back down from a challenge. We want to play against the best teams in the world and play in the best stadiums in the world, said Abraham.

No fear. We re ready for anyone. I would love it if it is playing at the Nou Camp or somewhere I ve never played before.
