Barcelona 3 vs 0 Chelsea (Round of 16 Champions League) #RESULTS #GOAL

A defeat that I think we can proud of. Messi 2 goals and Dembele goal just more than enough to make Barcelona go through quarter final of Champions League. Let's talk about line up first. Compare to the first leg, the only difference is that we actually play a striker this time, on an away games! From this, we could possibly hope the "attacking Chelsea team" at Camp Nou and that's what supporter want, right?

Overall, our performance was really good. Barcelona just couldn't play the way they usually play as Chelsea domination to grab a win from the first minute made Barcelona to sat down most of the time. However, the blues was not clinical enough and the best player in the world right now steps up as he score 2 goals and assist one.

Our best chance come from Alonso's free kick at the end of first half and Rudiger's header in the second half. Messi's two goal was suppose to be "a must save" action from Courtouis but the Belgian just not good enough as Messi nutmegs him twice, one from the impossible angle in the first 3 minutes of the game. Chelsea dominate the midfield as Kante come up as the brightest player on the mid. 

MAN OF THE MATCH FOR THE BLUES : KANTE

Most tackles (8), Most interception for the blues (3), the second highest dribbles for the blue (3), and have a shot is just some statistics that show what Kante has done on the mid
