Chelsea didn’t just beat Barcelona — they humbled them.
In one of their most complete performances of the year, Enzo Maresca’s men turned a high-profile clash into a tactical exhibition, punishing every flaw Barcelona showed without the ball.
From the first whistle, Chelsea looked sharper, hungrier and far more coordinated. Their press was relentless, their transitions were electric, and their structure off the ball completely suffocated Barcelona’s rhythm.
The breakthrough came early through a Jules Kounde own goal, but Chelsea were already in control. Estevao added the second with remarkable composure, and Liam Delap sealed the night with a clinical finish that reflected Chelsea’s superiority.
After the match, Maresca didn’t hide his pride.
He praised his players for sticking to the plan, exploiting Barcelona’s defensive gaps, and showing maturity far beyond their age profile. According to him, the win wasn’t luck — it was preparation meeting execution.
For Barcelona, it was a night to forget. For Chelsea, it was a statement: this is a team evolving quickly and fearlessly under Maresca.
