Lionel Messi reveals Premier league club Barça players hate more than Real Madrid
When you think about rivalries in football, Barcelona and Real Madrid immediately come to mind.

But according to football's greatest Lionel Messi, there’s one Premier League club that stirs up even more tension among Barcelona players: Chelsea FC.

Yes, the same Chelsea that has locked horns with Barça in some of the most dramatic Champions League clashes in history.

“There are players here who hate Chelsea more than Real Madrid,” Messi revealed in a surprisingly honest interview.

“I never thought I’d hear myself say that. I also never thought I’d experience something more intense than Boca vs River Plate or Brazil vs Argentina—but this rivalry is different.

"We’d rather face Arsenal, Manchester United, or any other English team than step onto the pitch with Chelsea.”

So, what makes Chelsea such a thorn in Barcelona’s side? Let’s dive into the history.

Where It All Began

The tension between these two clubs started brewing in the early 2000s. Things really heated up during the 2006 Champions League Round of 16 when Messi became the victim of a reckless challenge by Chelsea defender Asier Del Horno.

The tackle was so brutal that Del Horno was sent off immediately, and Messi narrowly escaped a serious knee injury.

That year, Barcelona had the last laugh. They eliminated Chelsea and went on to lift the Champions League trophy, beating Arsenal in the final with memorable goals from Samuel Eto’o and Juliano Belletti.

But this was only the beginning of a rivalry that would grow fiercer with time.

Chelsea’s Revenge

Fast forward to 2012, and the tables had turned. In one of the most dramatic semi-finals in Champions League history, Chelsea knocked Barcelona out with a heroic performance at Camp Nou.

Despite being reduced to 10 men and under relentless pressure, Chelsea managed to secure a 2-2 draw, advancing 3-2 on aggregate.

Fernando Torres’ iconic late goal sealed the deal, and Chelsea went on to win their first-ever Champions League title.

“The semi-final loss to Chelsea is one of my biggest regrets in a Barcelona shirt,” Leo Messi admitted.
"It’s a game I’ll never forget, and I think we could have won another Champions League that year.”

Messi vs Chelsea: A Tough Nut to Crack

When it comes to Messi’s personal record against Chelsea, it’s not as dominant as you might expect.

Over the course of 10 matches, he managed just 3 goals—remarkably low for someone who terrorized defenses across Europe.

In fact, it wasn’t until the 2017-18 season that Messi finally scored his first goal against the Blues during a Round of 16 clash. He followed it up with two more goals in the second leg to inspire Barcelona through to quarter-final.

Chelsea’s defensive tactics, especially under managers like José Mourinho and Roberto Di Matteo, often frustrated Messi and Barcelona’s attacking style. It’s no wonder GOAT grew to view these encounters as some of the toughest of his career.

The Champions League Rivalry: Barcelona vs Chelsea

Few matchups in European football have been as dramatic as Barcelona vs Chelsea. Here’s a quick look at their head-to-head record in the Champions League:

2000 Quarter-finals: Barcelona triumphed 6-4 on aggregate, coming back from a first-leg loss.

2005 Round of 16: Chelsea edged Barça 5-4 on aggregate in a controversial tie.

2006 Round of 16: Barcelona knocked out Chelsea 3-2 on aggregate and went on to win the Champions League trophy.

2009 Semi-finals: Barcelona advanced on away goals (1-1 aggregate), thanks to Andrés Iniesta’s legendary last-minute strike at Stamford Bridge.

2012 Semi-finals: Chelsea stunned Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate, en route to their maiden Champions League title.

2018 Round of 16: Barcelona got their revenge, winning 4-1 on aggregate with Messi playing a starring role.

These matches have been filled with controversy, unforgettable goals, and high-stakes drama, which would forever cement this rivalry as one of the fiercest in the Champions League era.

Messi’s Reflection

When Messi left Barcelona in 2021, he spoke openly about his regrets and what might have been.

“I would have liked to win another Champions League,” he said. “We had so many opportunities, but teams like Chelsea and Liverpool stopped us. Those semi-finals with Pep [Guardiola] were especially painful.”

While Real Madrid remains Barcelona’s eternal rival, it’s clear that Chelsea holds a unique place in the minds of players like Messi.

The battles between these two clubs were not just games—they were wars that left an indelible mark on football history.

For Lionel Messi and many of his former teammates, the Blues were more than just opponents—they were their ultimate challenge.

Prone to mistakes Real Madrid loses the opportunity to put pressure on Barcelona.

Real Madrid missed the chance to pass Barcelona at the top of La Liga on Saturday after capitalizing on defensive blunders to settle for a 3-3 draw against local underdogs Rayo Vallecano.

With 37 points from 17 games, Real Madrid is one point behind Barcelona in second place. With 38 points, Barça will play Leganes at home on Sunday. On that same day, Getafe will play Atletico Madrid, who are currently in third place with 35 points after 16 games. Rayo Vallecano, meanwhile, has 20 points and is in 13th position.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti decided to deploy talisman Vinícius Júnior at the start since France captain Kylian Mbappé was out with a leg muscle issue. Rayo Vallecano was able to take advantage of defensive lapses and take a two-goal lead in the first half thanks to this decisionsh,

Four minutes into the contest, Rayo's quick counterattack startled the defending champions. Goalie Thibaut Courtois was easily defeated by Unai López's header at the far post after Jorge de Frutos sprinted past Fran García and sent a crisp cross to the unmarked forward.

Abdul Mumin, who was left unmarked behind Lucas Vázquez, headed the ball in from a corner in the 36th minute to double their lead.

But three minutes later, Madrid was back in the game thanks to a stunning long-range goal from Federico Valverde. Jude Bellingham leveled the score with a perfect first-time attempt from inside the box shortly before halftime after Rodrygo set him up.

Shortly after halftime, Rodrygo had a close-range attempt on goal, but Augusto Batalla made a fast reflex save to keep him out of the game.

But the Brazil international persisted, and with a deflected drive from the edge of the box in the 56th minute, he gave Real Madrid the lead.

Manchester City in danger of elimination from Champions League

This was a real test for Manchester City, a trip to a not so entertaining Juventus side. In past seasons, Pep’s team would have turned their fortunes around with a win but it was not to be.

Motta’s Old Lady is in a rebuild themselves but on the night they defended really well.

City are in a position where in every game they find it hard to score and the defence also leaks goals.’

Haaland missed a great chance after being put through by KDB. Gundogan had a long range effort saved by Di Gregorio.

After a cagey first half, Vlahovic scored by the narrowest of margins in the 53rd minute when Kenan Yildiz swung the ball in and City keeper Ederson fumbled the Serb's header from close range and the ball sneaked just across the line, according to the goalline technology. Normally the Brazilian has good hands and keeps out goal attempts like that but on that occasion it was not to be.

City tried to get the leveller and increased the pressure but Juventus dealt the knockout blow on the break, when they found the winner on the counter. McKennie volleyed Weah’s cross past Ederson to extinguish City’s hopes.

With this win Juventus are 14th in the UCL table and are in a good position to clinch a playoff round in February. This win also will boost the Italian club’s hopes of turning around their form in the league.

Pep’s City are 22nd in the table with two games to go and now face a trip to 24th place PSG in the next matchday and finish with a home game against Brugge. The danger of elimination from the Champions League looks a real possibility for the English champions. Till now there are not many signs that Pep can turn things around at Manchester City. He has not been in a situation like this before with any other club and rebuilding a squad is not his cup of tea till now.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😱💎🔥👏In 2023 Pep Guardiola asked Manchester City to sell young Cole Palmer, as he was not counting on him in his group. The talented English prodigy has thus left his training club to join Chelsea for 47 million euros. In the space of a season and a half, Palmer has scored 33 goals and provided 17 assists in his 48 Premier League games.

He proved to be more decisive than all Pep Guardiola's midfielders put together. What a chance for the Blues to have such a young prodigy and what a loss for the Citizens.

🗣️Is Barcelona Back on Top? New Champions in Town!

Okay, let’s talk about that game — Barcelona vs. Dortmund. If you missed it, you probably missed one of the most electrifying matches of the season. From start to finish, it was pure football magic, and for once, it felt like the old Barcelona was back in business. No more "rebuilding phase" excuses — this was dominance, plain and simple.

Barcelona didn’t just win; they owned the pitch. Ferran Torres was on fire, striking twice and reminding everyone why he’s one to watch. The midfield was sharper than ever, with slick passing sequences that had Dortmund’s defense running in circles. And can we talk about the young stars stepping up? It’s like watching the rise of a new generation of legends. You’d think they’d feel the pressure, but nope — they’re playing with the kind of confidence that’s been missing for a while. The attack was relentless, with every counter looking like it might end in a goal. Even the defense, which has been a bit of a shaky story recently, stood tall against Dortmund’s fiery attempts.

But let’s not get too carried away. Yes, Barcelona looked fierce, but it wasn’t a flawless performance. There were moments where Dortmund showed flashes of brilliance, and with tighter finishing, the story could have been very different. Barcelona’s defense, while improved, still had its shaky moments. These cracks can be exploited by stronger teams, and with the Champions League knockouts looming, they’ll need to tighten up.

The big question now — is Barça officially back on top? Some say it’s too soon to tell, and honestly, they might be right. This was a powerful statement, but consistency will be the real test. Teams like Manchester City, Bayern, and Real Madrid aren’t going to roll over just because Barça had a good night. Watching them move the ball around with that classic tiki-taka flair felt like a blast from the past, and it’s clear they’re hungry for titles. Call it a "statement game" or call it a "comeback," but one thing’s for sure — the football world is watching, and rivals better take note. Barcelona isn’t just knocking on the door; they’re kicking it down. New champions in town? Maybe. But one thing’s for sure — only time will tell if this is the start of something big or just a glimpse of what could be.

Football is full of surprises, both on and off the field. From iconic players missing out on major trophies to unexpected goal scorers and miraculous victories, here are five crazy football facts that will blow your mind!
Click here - To watch the whole video

1. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo (Phenomeno) Never Won the Champions League

Despite playing for some of the biggest clubs in the world, including AC Milan, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG, neither Zlatan nor Ronaldo (the Brazilian Phenomeno) ever got their hands on the prestigious Champions League trophy. It’s astonishing that such legends of the game never managed to claim Europe’s top prize, especially considering their incredible careers.

2. No Barcelona Player Was Named La Liga Player of the Month Until 2015

It’s hard to believe that a club as dominant as Barcelona, with stars like Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta, went years without a player being named La Liga Player of the Month. It wasn’t until October 2015 that Neymar finally broke this curse, becoming the first Barcelona player to win the accolade.

3. John Terry Has Scored More Goals Than Andrés Iniesta

Yes, you read that right! Chelsea's legendary center-back, John Terry, who was known for his defensive prowess, managed to score more goals throughout his career than one of the greatest midfielders of all time, Andrés Iniesta. While Iniesta focused on creating magical plays, Terry often found himself on the scoresheet, particularly from set pieces.

4. Rio Mavuba Was Born in International Waters

One of the most unique birthplaces in football history, Rio Mavuba was born in international waters during a refugee crisis. His birth certificate literally states, "Born at Sea." Mavuba went on to have a respectable football career, including captaining the French Ligue 1 club Lille.

5. Denmark Won the 1992 Euros Without Qualifying

Denmark’s 1992 European Championship victory is one of football’s most incredible underdog stories. The team didn’t even qualify for the tournament but were called in just 10 days before it began after Yugoslavia was disqualified. Despite the odds, Denmark went on to lift the trophy, stunning the football world.

Report: Napoli fans already regret replacing Osimhen with lacklustre Lukaku

Romelu Lukaku's struggles in a Napoli shirt have reached a boiling point, with fans growing increasingly frustrated after his ineffective display in the team's 1-0 loss to Lazio at the Stadio Diego Maradona.

The Belgian striker, who was brought in as a marquee signing to replace Victor Osimhen, has failed to fill the void left by the Nigerian star, sparking questions about Napoli’s decision-making in the transfer market.

Lukaku underwhelms after Napoli move

Lukaku's lack of impact was glaring against Lazio. He managed just 15 touches in 90 minutes, completed 10 passes, and failed to register a single shot on target.

Substituted in injury time for Giovanni Simeone, Lukaku was met with a chorus of boos from the home crowd, reflecting the mounting discontent with his performances.

This disappointing outing adds to a troubling pattern for the 31-year-old. While he has scored five goals in 13 Serie A appearances, only three have come in the last two months.

Lukaku’s uninspired performances in key matches against Juventus, Atalanta, and Inter have left Napoli’s attack looking toothless, forcing manager Antonio Conte to substitute him in all those games.

Napoli fans long for Osimhen

The contrast between Lukaku and his predecessor, Victor Osimhen, has not gone unnoticed. While Osimhen consistently delivered match-winning performances, Lukaku has struggled to replicate that level of impact.

The decision to replace Osimhen with Lukaku, a player who commands significant wages but has shown inconsistent form, is now being widely questioned by both fans and analysts.

While Lukaku continues to struggle in Serie A, Osimhen has been thriving in the Turkish Super Lig, scoring seven goals and providing three assists in nine games.

For a player of Lukaku’s pedigree, expectations were sky-high. However, as boos echo around the Stadio Maradona, it’s clear that his performances have fallen far short of what Napoli fans had hoped for—and that the shadow of Victor Osimhen continues to loom large.

Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea: Blues fight back from two goals down to win and move four points off leaders Liverpool

Chelsea fought back from two goals down to win 4-3 at London rivals Tottenham to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points.

Spurs, who have blown a two-goal lead for the second time this season after losing 3-2 at Brighton in October, were 2-0 up after just 11 minutes through Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski as Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella was forced into a change of boots after slipping for both goals.

Jadon Sancho then got the visitors back into the game in the 17th minute as he produced a wonderful curling low finish off the post from outside the box.

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo escaped a first-half red card for an over-the-ball tackle on Pape Matar Sarr despite a VAR review - a decision which Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher described as "unbelievable".

Caicedo then won a second-half penalty as he drew a rash challenge from Yves Bissouma that allowed Palmer to equalise from the spot in the 61st minute.

Chelsea always looked likeliest to win the game and Enzo Fernandez completed the turnaround in the 73rd minute with a powerful near-post volley.

Spurs' defensive frailties were on display again as Sarr gave away another poor penalty that allowed Palmer to produce a cool Panenka in the 84th minute to extend their lead.

Heung-Min Son pulled a stoppage-time goal back but it was too little too late as Chelsea held on for a fourth straight league win to move second behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand after the Reds' match against Everton was postponed on Saturday.

Spurs, meanwhile, are heading in the opposite direction with back-to-back league defeats leaving them 11th, seven points off the top four and boss Ange Postecoglou under even more pressure.

Merse and Carra: Chelsea are in the title race
