Barcelona fans mocked Chelsea after Andreas Christensen put on a stellar performance during the 4-0 La Liga win against Real Betis. The Danish central defender, who joined on a free transfer from the Blues in the summer, was on the scoresheet. He also helped the Catalans keep a clean sheet.
Christensen opened the scoring for the Blaugrana in the 14th minute of the match. Betis were reduced to 10-men in the 33rd minute as Edgar Gonzalez was sent off.
Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha both scored in the first half to give the team a three-goal cushion. Guido Rodriguez's own goal in the 82nd minute meant Xavi's side emerged triumphant by a score of 4-0.
Christensen, 27, was at the forefront of the team's win. Before being subbed off in the 59th minute, he made one clearance, completed 46 passes with a massive 98% accuracy rate, and scored a goal.
Fans took a jibe at Chelsea for letting the player leave on a free. One of them wrote on Twitter:
"No noise,No anger issues just pure football and class. Ladies and Gentleman I present to you Andreas Christensen."
Another fan added:
"Ngl,Christensen was never this happy at Chelsea,look at the passion he has for the Barça. When you are big,you are big."
Since his summer move, Christensen has helped Barcelona keep 13 clean sheets in 26 appearances, and fans are deservingly applauding the player. Here are some of the best reactions from Barcelona fans:
What's next for Barcelona?
While Barcelona have been knocked out of the Copa del Rey and European competitions, Xavi's side look primed to lift the La Liga trophy this season. As they have already won the Spanish Super Cup this term, yet another triumph would mark a successful campaign.
The Blaugrana will return to action on May 2 to take on Osasuna in a La Liga home clash. Osasuna have been in good form and have reached the final of the Copa del Rey this season.
Barca currently have 79 points from 32 games and lead second-placed Real Madrid by 11 points. Hence a win against eighth-placed Osasuna would be massive for the team as they look to become Spanish champions.
