Robert Sanchez has said that a Chelsea player had a Barcelona star in his pocket last night during the 3-0 win.
It was a very quiet night for the Chelsea stopper who had very little to do against the so-called one of the favourites to win the Champions League.
To be honest, I thought Barcelona were absolutely terrible against Chelsea last night, even before the sending off. I expected a tough game, but the reality is, Chelsea just turned up and wanted it so much more than their opponents did. In fact, Barcelona didn’t even get out of their team bus, they were that bad. But all the credit must go to Chelsea’s players and Enzo Maresca. They were well drilled, organised, and arrived being well up for it and full of desire. They were winning all the first and second balls and just dominated Barcelona all game really.
Even striker Liam Delap, who had been under some pressure after his last few games, got on the scoresheet last night to put The Blues 3-0 up.
This came after another Estevao Willian masterclass and a superb finish to put Chelsea 2-0 up soon after half time and the red card happened.

Who is Lamine Yamal? He was nowhere last night. Estevao Willian was though!
So where was Yamal? Well, he was in Marc Cucurella’s pocket, according to Sanchez!
As cited by Fabrizio Romano, Sanchez said:
“Cucurella has Lamine Yamal in his pocket.”
Yamal is only 18 of course, but his Stamford Bridge performance was an absolute stinker and Estevao certainly stole the show last night.
I wasn’t impressed with Yamal at all, but then Barcelona’s entire team stank up the place all night to be honest!
