Antonio Conte says his Chelsea side are incapable of putting in a similar performance to Juventus when they travel to Barcelona on Wednesday, with his players lacking in European experience.

Juventus, Conte’s former club, came from behind to ‘kill’ Tottenham at Wembley last week, as they turned the tie on its head inside three minutes, leaving Mauricio Pochettino claiming Spurs must learn from their canny ways to win at the highest level.

After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Chelsea head to Spain knowing they must score if they are to get through, just as Juventus did at Wembley last week.

However, instead of rallying his squad, Conte says their lack of experience means there’s little chance of a similar performance.

“Don't forget you are talking about a team with many players with great experience,” Conte said.

“We don't have this experience and you have to build this experience over the years. Juventus showed great resilience, they suffered a lot and in the right mind they killed Tottenham.

“But I repeat: in the team there are many players with great experience and many players who won the Champions League in the past or played in a final of the Champions League.

“Experience is always important,” he continued. “This Chelsea team has not got great experience, not many players with great experience, because this team lost a lot of old players with great experience.

“Now we have many players who need experience. Andreas Christensen, Tiemoue Bakayoko. We have to work as a team and try to be ready.

“We must be prepared to suffer in this type of game, because when you play against this type of team, one of the best teams in the world, you must be prepared to suffer. It won't be easy.”
