These are five things we learnt from both games.

1. Lionel Messi, scorer and creator

It was a perfect night as the scoreline suggests as Chelsea matched and pressed Barcelona at Nou camp but as usual, Lionel Messi was the difference.

Messi scored a brace and created the other goal to show how much of a difference maker he is for Barcelona.

Some could say his first goal was lucky, but for Barcelona’s second, he was magical, beating two men before sliding a pass for Ousmane Dembele to score. He rounded up scoring in the second half to finish off the game.

2. Willian steps out for Chelsea again

Chelsea might have lost, 3-0 but on the night, Willian once again showed how much of a player he is right now. Just like in the first leg and in recent big games, he was Chelsea’s most dangerous player, beating and sliding past opponents so easily.

The most critically acclaimed player at Chelsea has been Eden Hazard who has been flirting with Real Madrid for some time now. But all of a sudden, Chelsea should not be scared anymore about Hazard leaving, Willian is showing that he can be the main man.

3. Messi joins Champions League century goal club

After his second goal of the night, Messi stood still and spread his arms before other Barcelona players joined in the celebration.

While other Barcelona player might have been celebrating the goal, Messi should have known that he is written his name in history as the second player to score 100 Champions League goals.

He joins his fierce rival Cristiano Ronaldo who was the only player to score 100 Champions League goals. Messi did it in 123 appearances, 14 games fewer than it took Ronaldo (137).

4. Champions League blues continue for Conte

Antonio Conte has had an impressive career as a coach winning four league titles in his last four seasons in club football.

His abilities as a manager cannot be disputed but doubts still persist because of his record in the Champions League.

Even when he dominated Italian football with Juventus for three years, his side failed to impress in the Champions League. Under Conte, Juventus managed to reach the quarter-finals once in two attempts. Since he left the club, they have made it to the final twice in three years.

In his first attempt with Chelsea, they have been dumped out in the second round by Barcelona, the Champions League blues continue for Conte.

4. Bayern Munich now too strong

After a below-average start to the season which cost Carlo Ancelotti his job, Bayern Munich has finally reinstated themselves as one of the Champions League favourites.

That wasn’t when they were thrashed 3-0 by Paris Saint-Germain in September 2017. Since then they have bounced back under Jupp Heynckes. In the round of 16, there were too strong for Besiktas over the two legs.
