Chelsea 1-1 Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#5 Everything to play for at the Camp Nou

All eyes will be on Conte and Chelsea in the return leg

The goal in favour of Barcelona now means that Chelsea will have to find a way to match the away goal tally in the return leg scheduled to be held at Camp Nou next month, if they are to keep their European run alive.

Antonio Conte gambled by playing Hazard as a false nine on the night and despite the roll of the dice not backfiring completely, it did not help Chelsea a lot either. The Belgian was isolated for the majority of the game and perhaps the introduction of Morata could have been a little earlier considering the fact that he just had about 10 minutes to make a mark.

Some of Conte's decisions have been questionable but it is as clear as daylight that the champions of England could do well with the services of Morata or Olivier Giroud in the second leg away from home.

The away goal will force Chelsea to go on the front foot in the second leg and hence the game could well become an open affair with plenty of goals. All eyes will no move to Camp Nou where things could get really interesting for these heavyweights in their pursuit for European glory.
