​Tammy Abraham has said that he’s eager for Chelsea to be drawn against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

The Blues secured qualification to the knockout stages on Tuesday after a nervy 2-1 win against Lille, but had to settle for second place in Group H after Valencia beat Ajax to top the group.

Abraham, who scored the opener at Stamford Bridge, revealed post-match that while ​Chelsea will be happy with any draw, he would personally love to face ​Barça.

“Ready for anyone, ready for anyone to be honest,” Abraham said, as quoted by ​football.london. “I would love it if it is playing at the Nou Camp or somewhere I’ve never played before.
