Champions League News :: Chelsea Boss Guus Hiddink says that Bosingwa can stop Barca's Messi

Posted on 2009-04-27 by Gooner

Chelsea coach Guus Hiddink is confident that Jose Bosingwa can keep Barcelona winger Lionel Messi quiet in the Champions League semi-final first leg.

The Argentine has been in spectacular form, and with regular left-back Ashley Cole suspended, Chelsea will rely on Bosingwa to switch from right-back.

"I have full confidence Bosingwa can do the job on Tuesday, We have some more options, but if he is doing well he can do the job." said Hiddink ahead of the clash at Camp Nou.
Messi, 21, remains the star attraction at Barcelona, however, with 21 goals so far this season as the club go for the Champions League and domestic Copa del Rey and La Liga titles.

"At a young age, Messi is one of the best players in the world already," said Hiddink. "He is the kind of player who is playing in a big club because of his style of play."
