Barcelona midfielder Yaya Touré has revealed how he and his elder brother, Kolo, are dreaming of facing each other in the Champions League final this year.
But to make it all come true the two Ivorians have major obstacles to overcome first.
Barcelona take on Chelsea on Tuesday in the opening leg of their semi-final before Arsenal face Manchester United on Wednesday.
"For me it will be unique and incredible experience if we were to make the final — and, hopefully, I could play against Kolo," Yaya told The Sun.
"This would be a momentus occasion for our family — but for the moment I must think only of Chelsea.
"I have spoken to Kolo about Chelsea and he has given me some important details about them.
"He really wants us to beat them after Arsenal’s FA Cup semi-final defeat to them.
"He has told me about some weak points which we can exploit in the Chelsea defence but, as for anything else he might have said, I don’t want to say any more.
"But I am very confident about our result. We are the best team in Europe this season and now is the moment to demonstrate that.
"Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi are monsters and it is nearly impossible to stop them — for Chelsea or anyone else.
"Throughout the squad we shall remain calm, our moral is good and, although Chelsea will not be easy rivals, if we stick to our game Barcelona will be in the final."
