Fulgurante The FC Barcelona stormed out and stream to Chelsea in the Camp Nou. The azulgrana box is the eighth team to make the quarterfinals of the Champions League and already go 11 seasons in a row without missing the kick.
The men of Ernesto Valverde needed just two minutes to open the scoring: a braided Messi move with Dembelé and Luis Suarez that ended in goal of the Argentine star.
Messi beat Thibaut Courtois under the legs to dedicate the goal to his third son, Ciro, newborn. The Flea was scary. He was just going to be enough to knock down the blues in a very deceptive game.
The club showed a worrying image. After the early goal, Chelsea raised the pressure, came up and dominated the game. Much more than expected.
Those of Valverde really suffered when a new action of genius Messi, on the counter, served to assist Dembelé, who scored his first goal ('20) with the shirt of Barça.
Antonio Conte exploded with anger because he did not understand anything. The papers were changed for a moment. The Chelsea generating chances and Barca killed him on specific actions.
Messi destroys Chelsea
The English did not give up and continued to press, especially through the mediation of Marcos Alonso and Willian , tireless. They needed to score two goals. But the company, in the Camp Nou, was too difficult.
Those of Conte did everything they should. They were superior. And they wear a lot to Barça. Valverde was forced to make all three changes in the 66th minute .

Iniesta, recently recovered from injury, Busquets, hurt, and Dembelé, suffocated, left the Txingurri without substitutions. Paulinho, André Gomes -renovated- and Aleix Vidal finished the match. Luckily, Messi left the job done with a third goal, again with spout ('64).
Cristiano Ronaldo gets cool
In the dressing room of Real Madrid followed the game with interest. All bet for the Barça and forecasts were fulfilled, but hallucinated with the low level of play of the azulgrana box.
Cristiano Ronaldo has been warning for weeks: what happened in the league classicwas a mirage. The Real Madrid is above the club.
And after seeing the duel against Chelsea, in Madrid they consider that the omens are confirmed. If now the faces are seen, the targets are convinced that they would roll over.
Not only that, but the feeling prevails that Chelsea was far superior to Barça both in the Camp Nou and in the overall of the tie. Also in Stamford Bridge they played better than Barça players.
So much so that Cristiano has already released some bravado: he wants them to play Barça in the quarterfinals to take the eternal rival out of the middle as soon as possible. They look strong.
The revenge of the Bernabéu.
The revenge of the Bernabéu is under way. Cristiano knows that the Champions is his competition and he has the certainty that the white team is better than Barça.
Dembelé is very green, is a machine to lose balls, and Paulinho is a joke. He had his night in Madrid, but it was a stroke of luck. Against Chelsea, he was again substitute.
The pupils of Zidane , with Asensio and Lucas inspired, have much more depth of staff -especially in Champions, where Barça does not have Coutinho available- and the great challenge is to stop Messi.
It's Ronaldo's dream . Eliminate Barca from the Champions and submit your new application to the next ball of gold as top scorer of the tournament.
