As Chelsea prepare to confront Barcelona on Wednesday night at Nou Camp in a bid to secure Champions League Quarter Final ticket after playing 1-1 at Stanford Bridge two weeks ago, Brazil International Willian said his side need to play a perfect game to knockout the Catalans.
Willian who put up a sparkling performance against Barcelona in the first leg by scoring the first goal and hitting the woodwork twice said Chelsea also need a strong defence to defeat Barcelona.

Speaking at a pre-match conference he said
"I think for us to go through we have to have a perfect game with the ball and without the ball. That's the most important thing. We know here the pitch is big and we have to not concede and then score ourselves. Without the ball we have to be compact, like at Stamford Bridge."


Asked if he would be drawing inspiration from the 2011/12 semi-finals when Chelsea won, Willian said he wanted to write his own chapter in the English club's history.


"I was watching that game, but for me every game is different. That game already is in the past. Tomorrow will be a new story, a new game.
