Salomon Kalou has said that he and his teammates will show that Chelsea are still a great team against Barcelona in the Champions League.

Kalou, whose side overcame Benfica to set up a semi-final clash with the Spanish outfit earlier this week, believes that the club can learn from their previous encounters with the defending champions when the sides meet later this month

"Chelsea is coming back to its top level," he said. "Chelsea is still a good team.

"I think this season was a difficult season for us. We are getting back together as a team, we are fighting as a team. We can show that we can also be a great team.

"We learn from the past. It's still a difficult game but I still believe we can pull it through."

Chelsea host Barcelona at Stamford Bridge in just under two weeks' time.
