John Terry picked the two most difficult players to deal with.
Sports Bible, a sports media outlet, reported on the 18th, "Former Chelsea captain John Terry picked the two toughest opponents in the Champions League draw in Nyon, Switzerland."
John Terry, who has played 717 games for Chelsea in 19 years and has no trophies to miss out on winning the Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup and League, helped progress to Monday's Champions League round of 16 draw.
Terry supported Real Madrid to win this season, saying it was the only team that could quell Manchester City's sensation, and recalled his Champions League showdown with Barcelona.
Asked what was actually the most memorable moment of his Champions League career, Terry said: "For me personally, the game against Barcelona in the 2004/05 season was the most memorable."
Terry said, "In my generation, I think Barcelona was the best team that they faced and they had the best players in the world. So it was a good memory to play against those players and test yourself, which was sometimes very difficult. That's when we won and we made good memories."
John Terry admitted that being sent off against Barcelona in the 2012 Champions League semi-final was the most regrettable thing of his Chelsea career. And when asked about his toughest opponents in a draw in Switzerland, Terry picked two former Warsaw players.
Terry said with a smile, "The two players on the team were Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho. Messi was unfortunately on my side on the field. When I look back on the last moments of my life, I'm very proud. I didn't reach the top often, but I was very happy when I won. It was a privilege to be able to play with those people."
Terry previously ranked former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry as the toughest opponent in the Premier League. He told Sky Sports in 2017, "He was by far the best and had everything. His movements were like quiet assassins. There was no shortage of heads, right feet, left feet, chip shots, mid-range shots."

Terry continued, "He was incredible. Literally, the night before the game, he would have been the only player in my career who thought, 'It's going to be a tough day tomorrow. And no one else has had that effect on me other than him."
