Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona LIVE Score, UEFA Champions League: Rejuvenated Blaugrana Seek Stamford Bridge Dominance

Enzo denied again by the offiicals! The Argentine headed in a free-kick past Garcia, but the linesman's flag goes up for offside. The decision probably went against Chalobah, and VAR confirms the decisions.

The ball was played towards the Chelsea box, and Sanchez came flying out, kung-fu style, to kick the danger away. He does that, and then his knee takes out Fermin's head in the follow through. The Barcelona forward goes down in pain, and the away side did not like that. No foul, though.

End-to-end stuff, this. Chelsea almost shoot themselves in the foot as they lose posession while trying to play out from the back. Yamal squares it perfectly for Ferran, but the Barca forward gets his footing wrong and blasts his shot wide.

Oooooh! Chelsea thought they had gotten an early lead. It all came from a corner routine, as Garnacho floated in a ball in the box which Lewandowski failed to clear. Fofana won posession and played it to Enzo, who poked it past Garcia. But his celebrations are cut short as the referee spots a handball in the buildup.

Referee Slavko Vincic blows his whistle, and Chelsea get tonight's match underway at Stamford Bridge. The home crowd are out in full force for this crucial fixture, so stay tuned for live updates.
