Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has taunted Champions League semi-final opponents Barcelona ahead of their first-leg clash on Tuesday, saying the Catalans will melt under the pressure.

The Blues head to the Nou Camp for the fifth time since the turn of the century, with the Stamford Bridge outfit having come away with score-draws on both of their last two visits.

And 28-year-old French international Malouda insists his side's 3-1 win at Anfield against Liverpool in the quarter-final first leg will inspire Guus Hiddink's men against Pep Guardiola's la Liga high-fliers.
