A 1-1 draw doesn`t tell the full story of what happened at Stamford Bridge when Chelsea and Barcelona renewed their rivalry in the Champions League.
On another night, and with a bit more luck, Chelsea could be heading off to the Nou Camp with a comfortable lead, but such is life.
However, after the dust had settled on what was a typical European night, at Stamford Bridge, we delved into the record and form books to bring you an array of fascinating facts.
? Barcelona have conceded in each of their last 7 visits to Stamford Bridge.
? Those last 7 visits have seen Chelsea lose just 1 game, with the others resulting in 4 wins and 2 draws.
? The 1 win Barcelona have registered, back in February 2006, is the last time Chelsea were beaten by Barcelona, since then, 8 fixtures have yielded 2 wins and 6 draws.
? Willian has scored 9 Champions League goals for Chelsea, with 6 of those coming from shots from outside the box.
? Those 6 goals scored by Willian from outside the box, since he joined Chelsea, puts the Brazilian on a pedestal with no other player being able to match that feat in a similar time period, the closest being Ronaldo and Neymar with 5 each.
? In netting the equaliser, Lionel Messi has now scored 18 goals in 27 appearances in the Champions League.
? Messi`s strike partner, Luis Suarez, failed to hit the net in this tie and has not scored in the Champions League for 881 minutes.
? Lionel Messi has now scored against 71 different clubs since he joined Barcelona, there are only 11 he has played against who he hasn`t scored against.
