"Barcelona took a solid hammering against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last night, partly owing to the opposition's quality and partly their own doing, losing 3-0 in the UEFA Champions League. At no point in the game did Barcelona look to be the dominant side, and going down to ten men only reduced the odds in their favour further. A Jules Kounde own goal handed Chelsea the lead midway through the first half, and Barcelona did not manage to convincingly fight back."
"Last night, starting in a big game against Chelsea, the player was sent off in the first half, leaving Barcelona with ten men for a whole half. Araujo took a booking in the 32nd minute by unnecessarily arguing with the referee about a foul by Chelsea. Despite being sanctioned, he was careless to jump into a rash tackle just 12 minutes later, leaving the referee with no option but to send him off."
Barcelona suffered a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, conceding a Jules Kounde own goal in the first half and goals from Estevao and Liam Delap after halftime. Barcelona never looked dominant during the match and played the entire second half with ten men following Ronald Araujo's first-half red card. Araujo received a booking in the 32nd minute for arguing with the referee and was sent off twelve minutes later for a rash tackle. The loss damages Barcelona's hopes of a top-eight finish and highlighted defensive errors and poor discipline that contributed to the heavy defeat.
