John Terry says that his children have Lionel Messi replica shirts.

Chelsea's John Terry has revealed that his children are big fans of Barcelona striker Lionel Messi.

The England defender said that his twin daughters Georgie and Summerown own replica shirts bearing the Argentine forward's name.

Chelsea and Barcelona will meet in the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, and Terry is relishing the prospect of playing against Messi again.

"My kids love him," he said. "It's a pleasure, because when you finish and you look back - and the guy's still going to be going strong - you've tested yourself against the best.

"And, quite clearly for me, he's the best ever. He's a great individual, a great person as well and a credit to the sport. For me, he's got everything. He is magical."

Chelsea booked their place in the last four of the competition earlier this week when they saw off Benfica in the quarter-finals.
