Playing against Barcelona has to be tough for opposing teams, but Willian has stolen the show due to his performance today...even if he hasn't been as lucky as Chelsea fans wanted.
The Brazilian ace hit each post twice in less than five minutes, giving Blues' fans cause for hope against the Spanish giants.
The South American ace became the first player to hit the posts twice in a single game since David Villa pulled off that feat, but he surely would have loved to trade one of those for a goal.
Needless to say, fans and experts reacted to this curious event with mixed reactions. Have a look at some of those.
If only Willian could shoot straight.

Willian should just go and study law and be called to the BAR after this game

Having a dig at Willian is a sort of national sport in some Chelsea quarters. Tonight, there have been precisely no digs had.
