Fabregas: Going to the Camp Nou to defend is a suicide mission Champions League - Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona Was sad not to have won the first leg

Chelsea need to score against Barcelona in the second leg of their Champions League tie if they're to have any chance of progressing to the quarter-finals and Cesc Fabregas has called for the Blues to get after his former side.

After a defensive performance at Stamford Bridge, the Catalan clearly hopes Antonio Conte will apply more attacking tactics in Catalonia.

"Ninety minutes of defending [away at Barcelona] is a suicide mission," the midfielder said after the full-time whistle.

"To spend 90 minutes there defending can be a long 90 minutes, an eternity.

"You have to go there to attack and we have to feel we can hurt them."

Asked for his thoughts on the 1-1 draw, he said it hurt because he thought Chelsea deserved to win.

"It is such a shame, as I really thought we were good," he said.

"We had a gameplan and did really well.

"We go home sad because a fantastic performance is not a fantastic result."

The second leg takes place on March 14.
