"Days after their first game at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona return to the road, this time for a long journey to England to lock horns with Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. Enzo Maresca's men, the reigning FIFA Club World Cup Champions, have been on a good run so far this season, and their position across competitions shows how much they have improved from the previous campaign."
"Six games have been played between the Catalans and the London-based side at the venue over the years, and Barcelona have won just once. In comparison, Chelsea have won thrice, with two games ending in draws. The English giants beat Barcelona by a comprehensive 4-2 margin in 2005, and a year later, Barcelona took revenge by taking away a 2-1 win over a ten-man Chelsea."
Barcelona travel to England to face Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League after their first game at the renovated Spotify Camp Nou. Enzo Maresca's men, described as the reigning FIFA Club World Cup Champions, have been on a good run and show improvement from the previous campaign. After twelve Premier League games Chelsea sit six points behind leaders Arsenal and have scored 23 goals. In the UCL both Chelsea and Barcelona have two wins, a draw and a defeat, with Chelsea narrowly behind on goals scored. Barcelona have won only once in six Stamford Bridge meetings; Chelsea have three wins and two draws. Hansi Flick's side will seek to undo that record.
