Barcelona and Chelsea will clash in the round of 16 stage, with the first leg to be played at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

As we approach what promises to be a highly-entertaining game of football, we take a look at some of the best stats below:

1. Chelsea have a history of frustrating Barcelona in their past meetings. The Blues have drawn five of their last six matches against the Catalans in all competitions.

2. Messi has never scored against Chelsea in 655 minutes of football over eight games.

AC Milan are the only side he has played more minutes against (eight matches, 720 minutes), and he has struck eight times against them.

3. Barcelona are attempting to reach the quarter-finals for a record-extending 11th straight year.

4. Chelsea have only advanced beyond the last 16 once in the past five seasons, losing at this stage to Paris Saint-Germain in their two most recent knockout ties.

5. This is one of only two last-16 ties featuring a pair of former European champions. The other being between Liverpool and FC Porto.
