Antonio Conte charged by FA for misconductTurkish side Besiktas or Sevilla, if they win a group currently topped by Liverpool, are other possible opponents for the English champions. But Chelsea boss Conte is adamant his players shouldn’t be scared about taking on one of the big guns because they are strong enough to trouble any team. “When you play this competition and you go through to the next round you must be ready to face the best teams,” he said. At the same time I think our opponent won’t be happy to play against us. But while City, Tottenham and Manchester United have cruised through to the last 16, Conte claims Chelsea had to battle through a much harder group.
