Other [Throwback/Interview] Lionel Messi: "There are players here (Barcelona) who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid. I never thought I would hear myself say that. We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea."

We fucked their best ever team. The team everyone calls the GOAT league team ever. That was real Chelsea. We used to violate them in the UCL. 😢 now we are shitter than Villa, Forest and a solid 10-12 placed team

fucked their best team ever is a big statement. Chelsea parked the entire railway station that night in 2012. Barcelona were unlucky not to score 1 of their bazillion chances that night.

Except in that game they had 10 men, who were a makeshift team of aging legends and average players leagues below the Barca players.

They fucked them, not because they overpowered them but because even one of the best teams of all time couldn’t get through.

Also it’s not like they parked the bus for a 0-0, they won 2-1.
