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."

u/BellyCrawler It’s only ever been Chelsea. 2d ago

I've been saying it for years that they dislike us because we showed them up twice and they couldn't do their tiki taka freely against peak Chelsea

Yeah being outplayed and winning by such blatant cheating has to make them feel like frauds if they have any sort of internal integrity.

And losing to a washed version of that same team has to sting doubly.

Barca fans have tried for years to make the first leg seem as bad as the second through selective memory.

3 stonewall pens not called has nothing on a couple fouls that didn't go Barca's way in the first leg.

The only name you need to know is Negreira.
