Overview
- Jules Koundé scored an own goal after a failed clearance to give Chelsea the lead.
- Ferran Torres squandered a clear chance from near the penalty spot with the goalkeeper beaten early on.
- Ronald Araújo was sent off before halftime with two yellows, first for dissent and then for a late tackle on Cucurella.
- Chelsea stretched the advantage when 18-year-old Estevão beat Cubarsí and finished clinically, before Delap sealed a third.
- This second league‑phase defeat for Barcelona heightens pressure on Hansi Flick as missed chances, defensive lapses and Lamine Yamal's displeasure at being substituted draw scrutiny.
