Barcelona vs Chelsea: 5 Talking Points from Barca's win

Messi’s early goal

Lionel Messi gave Barcelona the all important lead in the match within three minute of kick off. Chelsea lost possession in a vital area and the Catalan Giants utilised the opportunity. Messi's right footed shot nutmegged Thibaut Courtois and this early goal put a lot of pressure on lowly Chelsea side.

Dembele doubles the lead

This strike was Dembele's first goal for Barcelona since joining the club. The goal like the first goal came as a result of a mistake made by the Chelsea players.

This time it was a misleading pass from Cesc Fabregas, which fell to Messi who followed the ball and passed the ball to Dembele. Courtois committed early and Dembele's right footed shot gave Barcelona a two goal lead in the match.

Conte’s strategy failed

In the first leg, Antonio Conte chose to be more defensive and played with a false nine. It was more of a defensive approach which had worked well against the mighty Barcelona. Pedro was able to control the attacking threats of Barcelona with his wing-back play.

This time Conte opted for Olivier Giroud, who could't link well with Eden Hazard. The defensive unit of Chelsea was also not in good shape and Barcelona capitalized the chance.

Messi scores 100th Champions League goal

In the second half, Chelsea were trying hard to score which exposed them at the back, Barcelona got enough space to counter attack.

Chelsea lost possession in the midfield and Messi again nutmegged Courtois to complete his 100th goal in the Champions League history.

Chelsea’s season headed to disaster

The Blues are now out of the Champions League and are currently fifth in the Premier League.

Now, Antonio Conte has a huge job on his hands to get his team pumped up for the upcoming clash against Leicester City in the quarter final of FA Cup, which is the Blues' only hope for a trophy this season. Failing in the FA Cup as well, will throw Conte's job up in the air.
