The Spanish press have been ruthless in their assessment of Barcelona's performance against Chelsea after Hansi Flick and Co endured a Champions League night to forget at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday evening. The hosts were at the visitors' throats from moments after kick-off‚ with Chelsea finding the back of the net in just the fourth minute‚ only to see their strike ruled out. The breakthrough came finally in the 27th minute via a shambolic Jules Kounde own goal‚ and following the dismissal of Ronaldo Araujo after the visiting star picked up a second yellow for a clumsy challenge on Marc Cucurella‚ Flick's side looked unable to lay a glove on Enzo Maresca's players.

Wayne Rooney hailed the Blues star as 'absolutely incredible' after Chelsea 's 3-0 Champions League demolition of Barcelona at Stamford Bridge. The former England captain singled out the left-back for special praise after he locked down teenage sensation Lamine Yamal and helped drive a statement victory. The Blues beat the LaLiga champions thanks to a Jules Kounde own goal and second-half strikes from Estevao and Liam Delap.
