Chelsea enjoyed themselves at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening, beating Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League. The game began at a furious pace, with a disallowed Enzo Fernandez goal and Ferran Torres putting a good chance wide of the Chelsea frame inside the first six minutes.

Red cards, refereeing controversies and, when the opportunity is allowed to arise, moments of great skill have defined this modern European rivalry.

Liam Delap’s maiden strike in the competition capped off a wonderful night for Maresca and his men, with Chelsea, who moved up to fourth in the league phase table, suddenly in a strong position to claim a top eight finish and qualify automatically for the round of 16.

Both teams hope for direct qualification, which means securing a Top-8 spot in the Champions League rankings after the eighth week. Chelsea currently sit 12th, while Barcelona are just in front thanks to a higher goal difference, but on the same number of points.

Pep Guardiola has never coached a European competition game below the Champions League level and on Tuesday leads Manchester City in it for the 100th time.

As Chelsea and Barcelona meet at Stamford Bridge, Lamine Yamal and Estevao will take center stage in the match. Raphinha's return to the bench is a big boost for Hansi Flick, but will it be enough to overcome the loss of Pedri?
