Today is Wednesday, meaning the Champions League clash that everyone is waiting for is right around the corner. On the final Matchday of the round of 16, Barcelona will host Chelsea in the second leg of their tie.
The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, which could easily be interpreted as an advantageous result for the Blaugrana. Nonetheless, the Catalan giant must be wary of the Blues despite boasting the home advantage.
90 minutes at Camp Nou will decide the fate of these two clubs in this season’s tournament. Here are four stats you should know ahead of this clash.
Barcelona is undefeated at home against the Blues
These two sides have locked horns a number of times in this competition. The London giant has made four trips to Camp Nou but never have they come away with a win.
But Chelsea’s recent record at Camp Nou is impressive
The Blues might have never triumped at Barcelona, but they haven’t lost once in their last four trips there. That is not a bad record at the home ground of one of Europe’s biggest teams.
The Blaugrana is English teams’ worst nightmare
Barcelona’s 23 all-time Champions League wins against English clubs are the most of any team in the competition. Chelsea will have to overcome the Premier League’s kryptonite.
When the London giant last lost in Spain
It has been a while since the English outfit has last lost in Spain. One would have to go back to their 1-0 defeat at Real Betis in the group stage for their last loss, meaning they are undefeated in their last 10 trips (W3, D7).
