Following Middlesbrough's shock victory over Chelsea , FC Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard believes that the Spanish champions and current La Liga leaders are very well placed to win for the Champions League encounter.
Barça travels to Stamford Bridge on February 22 to put last season's unlucky exit against The Blues behind them. Frank Rijkaard sent assistant Henk Ten Cate to see struggling Boro´s victory over the champions. The coaching staff will analyze the situation after assistant Ten Cate reported chinks appearing in Chelsea's armour.

"We have seen what happened with our own eyes because we had our scout there. We observed that things aren't working like before at Chelsea” Rijkaard is quoted further in the English tabloid The Sun: "I'm also going to ring the manager of Middlesbrough, so he can tell me how they won".
