The Argentine is yet to score past the Blues, but the Argentine has one thing working in his favor.

On Tuesday, Barcelona will travel to Chelsea for the first leg of their round of 16 clash in the UEFA Champions League. A new chapter will be added to their heated past in this competition, as both sides fight for a spot in the quarter-final.

The Blaugrana has not been performing at their best heading into this fixture. Back-to-back draws followed by a 2-0 win over Eibar coincided with a drop in goalscoring form from Lionel Messi.

However, the Argentine ace will be the danger man, as always, in the Stamford Bridge trip. Unfortunately, the five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s stats against the Blues continue to haunt him.

The 30-year-old has crossed paths with the London giant eight teams in Europe. Surprisingly, despite being one of the best finishers football has ever seen, Leo has never scored against Chelsea.

Former Stamford Bridge goalkeeper Petr Cech played a huge role in Messi’s goalscoring hoodoo, as La Pulga had to wait until the custodian joined Arsenal to score past him. Luckily, the Barcelona legend will come across a different foe, Thibaut Courtois, one he knows very well.

Prior to his Premier League arrival, the Belgian shot-stopper had crossed paths with the Camp Nou icon 10 times during his time at Atletico Madrid. In those run-ins, Messi had scored six times against Courtois.

Lionel’s past against Chelsea weighs on his shoulder ahead of Tuesday’s game. Fortunately for him, his record against the Blues’ current man between the sticks could give him hope at the Bridge.
