Lionel Messi’s struggles against Chelsea are well documented. His Barcelona side has a history with the Blues in the Champions League, and although the Blaugrana has won their fair share of encounters, Leo never been able to score past them.
Yes, it is surprising but true: the Argentine superstar has zero goals from eight encounters with the London giant. Despite being one of the greatest players to ever exist, 655 minutes against the Premier League side has produced little to nothing.
The 30-year-old has had 29 shots against Chelsea, but none found the back of the net. One video posted on Twitter even shows us all his attempts against the English club.
The video posted by freelance football writer Adam Hurrey doesn’t show 29 attempts, but claims to compile all of his shots against Chelsea. Even his penalty miss from the 2012 2-2 Camp Nou draw can be seen.
Every single Lionel Messi shot against Chelsea. I'm no expert, but I think he should try the in-off-his-arse-from-two-yards approach now. pic.twitter.com/kRDs07OBm0

Tuesday’s game will give him a chance to put this hoodoo to rest. He has been in top form this season and will be hungry to score against Conte’s men.
