Chelsea put on a show at Stamford Bridge, securing a resounding 3-0 win over 10-man Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League. This impressive victory marked their largest-ever margin of victory over the Catalans and temporarily lifted them into the top eight of the league phase table.


The intense atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was palpable from the start, with Chelsea having an early goal disallowed for handball. Barcelona's Ferran Torres also had a golden opportunity to score, but he missed the target from just 10 yards out. The match lived up to its billing, with Chelsea dominating possession and creating chances.


The game started to gain momentum, and Chelsea looked more focused, but the away team threatened on the counter-attack with Lamine Yamal leading the charge. Midway through the first half, Estevao's clever free-kick was headed in by Enzo Fernandez, but the goal was ruled out due to offside.


Chelsea's breakthrough came soon after. Marc Cucurella's low cross caused chaos in the box, and when Torres and Jules Kounde got tangled up, the ball trickled over the line off Kounde's boot.


Barcelona pushed hard for the rest of the half, but Chelsea's Moises Caicedo was solid in midfield, keeping them at bay. As halftime neared, Ronald Araujo's reckless tackle on Cucurella earned him a second yellow card and a red, leaving Barcelona with an uphill battle in the second half.


With Araujo off, Chelsea's dominance became more pronounced, and they capitalized on their numerical advantage. Estevao scored a brilliant solo goal, and Liam Delap added a third, sealing a 3-0 win for the Blues.


The second half began with Chelsea pushing for more goals, but Andrey Santos' early strike was ruled out due to Alejandro Garnacho's offside position earlier in the move. However, the hosts continued to dominate, and Estevao's incredible run and finish secured Chelsea's second goal, which was well-deserved.


Barcelona attempted to turn the game around, with Marcus Rashford and Raphinha coming onto the field, but they failed to shift the momentum in their favor.




Chelsea's substitute, Liam Delap, sealed the win with a composed finish, scoring his first UCL goal. He capitalized on the opportunity, firing in a shot at the far post after receiving a square ball from Fernández, who had expertly evaded Barcelona's offside trap by mere centimeters.


Chelsea's impressive 3-0 win over Barcelona marks a significant milestone, with their unbeaten streak now extending to six games. Having lost only once in their last 10 meetings against Barcelona (W3, D6), this victory is a major confidence booster for Enzo Maresca's side. The win propels Chelsea into the top eight of the Champions League table, while Barcelona's chances of making the knockout rounds hang in the balance, potentially forcing them into a play-off position.
