Just in the 4th minute, Chelsea warned Barca when Enzo Fernandez put the ball in the Barcelona net with a close-range shot. The goal was later disallowed because the referee detected a handball by Fofana.

In the 22nd minute, Enzo scored again, and was again... disallowed, this time for offside. The two missed attempts did not make Chelsea flinch, but were only a warning to the home team's porous defense.

Indeed, just 5 minutes later, Chelsea did score. In a move penetrating the opponent's left wing, Cucurella cleverly broke the offside trap and crossed for Neto to finish.

The Portuguese striker's backheel was blocked on the line, but Kounde then clumsily let the ball slip away, ending up scoring an own goal.

Barca's troubles mounted when defender Araujo received a second yellow card and had to leave the field. The Uruguayan player had already received a yellow card, and towards the end of the first half, he had a rough tackle on Cucurella.

With only 10 men left, Barca were completely outclassed by Chelsea. And in the 55th minute, the home team increased the gap after an impressive solo performance by young talent Estevao.

From the right wing, Estevao dribbled past both Cubasi and Balde, then fired a powerful shot from a tight angle, defeating Barca's goalkeeper.

On the other hand, Yamal completely "disappeared" under Cucurella's supervision. The Spanish defender played very well in this match when attacking, defending, and was almost unbeaten against his compatriot Yamal.

Playing with one more player, everything was too easy for Chelsea, and in the 73rd minute Delap scored the winning goal 3-0 for the home team, ending an unforgettable defeat for Barca.

With this win, Chelsea has 10 points, equal to Man City but has a better goal difference. Meanwhile, Barca has only 7 points and falls to the middle of the rankings.
