Barcelona fear us, says Deco

Deco believes Chelsea have got his former club Barcelona running scared and will prove too strong for them at Stamford Bridge.

The Portugal international, who joined Chelsea last summer having won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2006, is set to miss the second leg with a hamstring injury but is confident his new team-mates will get to the final without him.

Barca have moaned about Chelsea's style and Deco insists it's a sign that his former team-mates are worried.

He said: "Barca are strong in the Nou Camp. They are talking because they know how difficult it will be here. They will come here thinking they can win but they also know it is hard to beat us."
