Chelsea have only lost one of their last nine meetings with Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League (W2 D6), although that lone defeat did come in their most recent clash (0-3 at the Camp Nou in March 2018); a result that saw them eliminated at the last 16 stage (lost 1-4 on aggregate).

Barcelona have only won away to Chelsea on one of eight previous attempts in Europe (D2 L5): a 2-1 victory in February 2006 in the UEFA Champions League. Since then, they have played at Stamford Bridge on four occasions without recording a victory (D2 L2).
