Chelsea host Barcelona in a heavyweight clash in the Champions League this evening.
After some less glamorous trips in the Europa Conference League last season, this is the sort of fixture Blues fans have been desperate to see back in west London.
And Enzo Maresca’s side welcome the Catalan giants to west London just as they are hitting some form, back up to second in the Premier League with momentum building.
Marcus Rashford is back on these shores for the second time since leaving Manchester United on loan having put Newcastle United to the sword in September.
But the most intriguing story tonight could be the battle of the young superstars with Estevao Willian and Lamine Yamal hoping to set the game alight.

Sort: Newest first Oldest first November 25, 2025 8:45 pm 44 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona – RED CARD Phil HaighRonald Araujo is off! No debate over that one.
Already on a booking, the Barcelona defender lunged in on Marc Cucurella, mistimed it and it is obviously a second yellow.
Stupid stuff from the Barca captain.
November 25, 2025 8:44 pm 43 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona Phil HaighRobert Lewandowski bundles over Trevoh Chalobah to give away a free-kick.
It has been a quiet evening so far for the legendary Polish striker.
November 25, 2025 8:41 pm 40 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona – YELLOW CARD Phil HaighBooking for Malo Gusto. Balde just got away from him on the left and the Blues man pulled him back. Obvious yellow card.
November 25, 2025 8:41 pm 39 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona Phil HaighChelsea certainly the better side and deserve their lead.
Great pressing from the home side is making it very difficult for Barcelona to get out.
November 25, 2025 8:36 pm 35 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona Phil HaighMarc Cucurella LOVES getting the better of Lamine Yamal there. No way through for the Barca winger as he tries to take on his compatriot. The Chelsea full-back even wins a goal kick.
November 25, 2025 8:33 pm 32 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona – YELLOW CARD Phil HaighRonald Araujo booked for whinging to the ref about a decision. Things not going well for Barcelona right now.
November 25, 2025 8:31 pm 30 mins: Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona Phil HaighBen Fleming: ‘A really good spell of pressure from Chelsea and they’re rewarded with the opener, albeit in somewhat comical fashion. Cucurella looked like he might have been offside for the assist, but the hosts finally get the rub of the green with the officials after two disallowed goals earlier’
November 25, 2025 8:30 pm 28 mins: GOAL – Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona Phil HaighChelsea take the lead after a great spell of pressure and it is an own goal from Jules Kounde!
A low cross from Marc Cucurella is not dealt with and between Torres and Kounde they prod it into their own net.
November 25, 2025 8:28 pm 27 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighBREAKTHROUGH AT THE BRIDGE! 💥Barca can't clear their lines & it's turned in by Kounde for a Chelsea lead! 🔵 pic.twitter.com/2OA1rgTNz9

Garnacho on the left finds Fernandez who has an effort on the volley which is flicked over by Balde. Chelsea on top.
November 25, 2025 8:26 pm 24 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighChelsea having a great spell here as Estevao plays Pedro Neto in behind the Barcelona defence. It is not an easy chance, but he did speed into the box and get a shot off. That shot was high and wide.
November 25, 2025 8:25 pm 22 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED Phil HaighIt’s Enzo Fernandez again!
Estevao swings in a free-kick from the left into a brilliant area on the edge of the six-yard box and Fernandez gets behind the defenders to nod it home.
He wasn’t offside but Chalobah was and he flicked the cross on.
Unlucky.
November 25, 2025 8:21 pm 20 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighChelsea hope to spring attacks over the top of Barcelona’s high line. Enzo Fernandez pings one long for Malo Gusto to chase, which excites the home fans, but goalkeeper Joan Garcia is out to clear.
November 25, 2025 8:20 pm 18 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighThe game has started to settle now and Barcelona are enjoying the majority of the ball.
Caicedo proves his worth, yet again, in central midfield with a brilliant challenge on Torres as he burst towards the Chelsea penalty box.
November 25, 2025 8:17 pm 16 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighBen Fleming at Stamford Bridge: ‘While Ferran Torres is tucking in on the left to be closer to Lewandowski, on the right Yamal is staying right on the touchline.
‘Nothing too dangerous from the Barca superstar yet but Chelsea will have to be wary about his threat all game.’
November 25, 2025 8:15 pm 13 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighBarcelona want a penalty but they are not getting it.
Yamal puts the ball into the box and Fermin Lopez drops to the floor after some contact from Chalobah. Up you get, lad.
November 25, 2025 8:13 pm 11 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighPedro Neto, playing as a false nine tonight, fumes that he was not given a free-kick, but his protests are ignored.
It is pretty frenzied stuff early on, the game is yet to settle down, if it ever does.
November 25, 2025 8:10 pm 8 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighGood work from Moises Caicedo on the byline to keep the ball alive and pull it back to Reece James on the edge of the box.
James fires in a shot but it’s easily saved.
November 25, 2025 8:07 pm 6 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighHuge chance for Barcelona as Chelsea make a mess out of playing out from the back and lose possession.
Ferran Torres is played in, centre of the box, clear effort at goal and he sends it wide. Bad miss.
November 25, 2025 8:06 pm 4 mins: GOAL DISALLOWED Phil HaighChelsea thought they had the lead through Enzo Fernandez but it has been ruled out immediately.
Wesley Fofana adjudged to have handled the ball before setting up Fernandez to finish. Correct decision.
November 25, 2025 8:04 pm 2 mins: Chelsea 0-0 Barcelona Phil HaighIt looks set to be a physical contest. Both teams win free-kicks in the opening two minutes in a high-paced opening.
