Lionel Messi finally breaks duck to deny Chelsea

Chelsea 1 Barcelona 1 

The Brazilian netted a fine opener after hitting both posts in the first half, but some terrible defending allowed Messi to net against the Blues after 730 minutes of previously-fruitless action.

“We were very close to the perfect game. One mistake and we know very well when you make a mistake against Barcelona and players like Messi, Suarez and Iniesta you pay,” said Blues boss Antonio Conte.
