Impact on Barcelona’s Champions League Campaign
This defeat has put Hansi Flick’s side in a precarious position regarding Champions League progression. The Spanish champions, having suffered such a comprehensive loss, have seen their aspirations of finishing amongst the top-8 in the league phase severely diminished. As things stand, Barcelona now face the prospect of competing in an unwelcomed playoff tie to remain in the competition.
Historic Streak Comes to an End
Barcelona’s formidable streak saw them find the net in 53 consecutive matches across all competitions. This run began following a 1-0 defeat to Leganés back in December 2024. However, Chelsea’s resolute defensive display on Tuesday night put a halt to this impressive achievement.
