Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has revealed he still has nightmares about the Blues' Champions League semi-final loss to Barcelona in 2009.
Hiddink was in the midst of his first stint as interim manager at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea were denied the chance to play in a second consecutive final by a stoppage time winner from Barcelona's Andres Iniesta.
"Yeah, it's still a bit of a nightmare for me, this game," Hiddink said as he prepares his side for Tuesday night's Champions League Round of 16 first leg.
"Usually you lose and after one or two days you go on, but this is a game where I thought, 'how is it possible?'.
"When you see how it happened, then I was having second thoughts about this game. But that's history. I worked in big clubs but the chance to win the Champions League when you are in the Spanish league in the top two clubs or in England in a top four club, this is more easy than any other league apart from Bayern Munich.
"Yes. It's years ago already but seeing three or four not given handballs, then I started to have second thoughts because it was again Man U-Chelsea in a final. I had problems with losing in that way."
