Chelsea v Barcelona: Commentary, updates, goals and stats

Chelsea have the chance to underline their progress under Enzo Maresca when Barcelona visit Stamford Bridge tonight.

The Blues have made steady progress under the Italian with Saturday’s 2-0 win at Burnley moving them up to second in the Premier League.

But victory against Barca would be a statement that would finally end any lingering doubts about Maresca’s suitability for the role.

Barca have not been at their sparkling best this season but did turn in a much-improved display at the weekend, beating Athletic Bilbao 4-0 to celebrate their return to Camp Nou.
