Chelsea vs Barcelona 3-0: UEFA Champions League – as it happened

Thanks for joining us for live coverage of Chelsea against Barcelona in the Champions League.

The Blues took a big step towards automatic qualification with a 3-0 win in West London.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for more live Champions League coverage. But for now, from Adam Hancock and Kevin Hand, goodbye!

Enzo Maresca has given his post-match interview to Amazon Prime Sport. This is what he had to say:

“It’s a good win, we knew how important this game was. For sure, when you beat Barcelona it is always nice.”

On how the game went tonight: “I think Barcelona is a team that if they have the ball, they feel comfortable, but if they don’t have the ball, they don’t feel comfortable. So we try to keep the ball. Even with 11 vs 11, my feeling is very good as the team were playing very good.”

On Chelsea’s recent good form: “The defensive part is always important, you need the balance. Fortunately, in the last month we are finishing games with clean sheets. It’s something you need to do to achieve important things.”

On Chelsea’s Club World Cup win: “That has been very important for the players in terms of confidence. They realise they can win games against any team, and I said many times: When you are trying to build a winning mentality, you need to win games.”

More reaction now from the Chelsea camp, and Marc Cucurella has also been speaking to Amazon Prime Sport:

“We played really good, and we deserved the win with the attitude we had and with how organised we were.

“I think the game plan was really clear, it worked really well, and my teammates helped me a lot.”

On Chelsea’s recent good form: “The last couple of games we have improved a bit in defence, we have some clean sheets, which gets us some confidence, and I think we need to continue in this way. This is just the beginning, and we have a long way to go.”

On his journey to Chelsea: “I feel very proud. In a football career, you will have ups and downs, but the most important thing is to stay consistent and always try to improve and work hard. We sacrifice a lot of things when we are young and maybe need to have a more mature life than others, but after these performances like tonight, everything makes sense.”

The Spanish giants looked out of sorts this evening, and they were second best all over the pitch.

Barcelona seemed unable to cope with Chelsea’s pressing, and they were overwhelmed for large parts of the match.

Star names, including Lamine Yama,l were off the boil, with Chelsea doing very well to keep Barcelona’s attacking talent quiet.

Some reaction from the Chelsea camp after tonight’s brilliant win for the Blues. Goal scorer Estevao has been speaking to Amazon Prime Sport. This is what he had to say:

“I don’t really have any words to sum up how I am feeling right now. It really was the perfect night.”

On his goal: “It was all so quick for me, it happened before I even knew it. I just found some space, wriggled through and scored that goal … It was definitely the most special moment of my career, and I hope I keep scoring more and more for years.”

On his connection with the fans: “From the moment I arrived here at Chelsea, I felt such a connection with the fans. I am just so happy I could score for them.”

The full-time whistle is blown, and the World Champions have thrashed Barcelona 3-0.

A statement performance from the Blues.

The fans at Stamford Bridge are in full voice (except for those in the away end), as this game drifts towards full-time.

There are some long faces on the Barcelona bench, reflecting on a miserable evening for the Spanish giants.

Just over 20 minutes left at Stamford Bridge and that will feel like 20 minutes too many for the 10-men of Barca.

Garcia does very well to make the save at his near post.
