😳 Chelsea stars outshine Yamal, Barça gem takes a double hit

In the battle for the Champions League round of 16, FC Barcelona suffered a severe setback on Tuesday evening. The team led by Hansi Flick lost 0-3 at FC Chelsea. It was clear that a jab from the opponent was inevitable after the game.

Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sánchez taunted the Catalans, emphasizing that players are often truly tested only when they play against teams from England. "Everyone looks really good until they come to the Premier League," he said to the press after the final whistle.

Additionally, the Chelsea keeper highlighted which of his teammates was better than Lamine Yamal: "Cucurella had him (Yamal; editor's note) in his pocket."

"Lamine finds a wall in Cucurella," headlined the Spanish 'Marca' in retrospect of the game. And Chelsea fans also targeted Barça's jewel. When he was substituted, the supporters sang: "You're just a lousy Estevao." The 18-year-old Brazilian had previously scored a remarkable goal to make it 2-0 for the Blues.

It was not Yamal everyone was talking about, but Estevao, who scored his third goal in his fifth CL game for Chelsea.

With the victory, Chelsea climbs to fifth place in the CL standings, while Barça temporarily drops to a disappointing 15th place.
