  • Chelsea delivered a dominant Champions League performance on Tuesday, sweeping aside a 10-man Barcelona 3–0 with goals from Estevão, Liam Delap and an early own goal from Jules Kounde.

Chelsea cruised to a convincing 3–0 win over Barcelona in Tuesday’s Champions League clash, capitalising on an early lead and a second-half surge to humble the Spanish champions at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues set the tempo from the opening whistle, forcing pressure that paid off in the 27th minute when Barcelona defender Jules Kounde mistakenly bundled the ball into his own net.

Barcelona’s night worsened just before halftime. Captain Ronald Araujo received a second yellow card in the 44th minute for a reckless challenge, leaving the visitors to battle the entire second half with 10 men.

Chelsea wasted no time taking advantage. Ten minutes after the break, 18-year-old sensation Estevão produced a moment of brilliance—dancing past two defenders before unleashing a powerful strike into the top corner from a tight angle.

The Premier League side sealed the victory in the 73rd minute when Liam Delap fired home his first goal of the season, deepening Barcelona’s misery and securing all three points.
