Barcelona were thoroughly outplayed, outclassed and dominated in every aspect by a merciless Chelsea side 3–0 on Tuesday night.
A Jules Koundé own goal halfway through the first half got the Blues party started at Stamford Bridge. Then, an unforgivable Ronald Araújo red card condemned the Catalans as the floodgates opened.
Estêvão and Liam Delap added two more in the second half. Still, it could’ve been worse. Chelsea had three disallowed goals compared to Barcelona’s two shots on target all night.
Flick’s side are now 15th in the Champions League league phase standings and could drop further down after tomorrow’s games. Direct qualification to the round of 16 seems like an unrealistic prospect.
Even more worrying for Barcelona is how emphatically Chelsea toyed with them, confirming their 2024–25 success and form is nothing but a distant memory.
