Valverde's men solve a difficult ballot in Stamford Bridge.
Tie that knew glory in Stamford Bridge (1-1). The Barça overcame a very difficult hurdle in the knockout stages of the Champions League and decide the tie at the Camp Nou.
The Barça dominated the game, but chances were for Chelsea. Especially in the first half, where Willian sent two balls to the post.
Those of Ernesto Valverde did not carbure. Despite presenting the eleven gala of this course, the same that played against Eibar, the freshness of previous matches has vanished.
After achieving the classification in the Cup against Valencia, the Catalan team has experienced a slight downturn translated into two draws - Espanyol and Getafe - a victory with many doubts - Eibar - and the tie at Stamford Bridge.
Despite controlling the possession of the ball, Barca did not generate danger throughout the first half. The referee's whistle for the half-part came as a blessing: saved by the bell .
But Valverde could not find the reaction of his players that he has achieved so many times in the second half. The azulgrana remained asleep and, to the third, Willian did not pardon ('62).

The Barca defense was unfortunate. Especially a Gerard Piqué thicker than normal who seems to have recovered his nightly habits at the Casino de Barcelona.
is a crime for Barça to play three plays traced by such a dangerous player. Two clubs, a goal and a well deserved fight for the Barca defense, more flimsy than normal.

The consistency of the Txingurri was lacking in London. Paulinho sang especia.
Messi wants to be the best this year. He is not going to give up anything. And it will take Hazard, Christian, Neymar and whoever is needed ahead.
Dembelé's anger: not a minute
The goal of the Argentine had a clear consequence: Dembelé was left without playing for the second consecutive game. And his anger increases. Like Paco'sAlcácer's, outside the call.
Valverde decided strangely to dispense with the Valencian striker and leave on the bench players of much more similar profile as André Gomes and Denis Suárez.
Valverde showed little confidence in the players who are not part of the starting lineup. And he only gave the minutes of the trash to Gomes in the extension time.
