Marca recalls the famous scene of the clash between Barcelona and Blues: Mourinho angrily criticized Messi for acting, and Xiaobai Jueping

Barcelona will play Chelsea away in this round of the Champions League. "Marca" also reviewed the famous scenes of the historical confrontation between the two teams.

After this Tuesday's showdown, Chelsea will become Barcelona's second-most rival in European competitions, second only to AC Milan. The two teams have met 17 times so far, and the history is full of legendary chapters: from the "Iniesta moment" when Iniesta scored the winner to advance to the 2009 final, to Mourinho complaining about the "school of drama" after Del Horno's tackle on Messi turned red.

Since their first encounter in the Fairs Cup in the 1960s, the two sides did not meet again until the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2000: Barcelona was trailing 0-3 at halftime in the first round and was on the verge of elimination. Luis Figo's goal in the second half brought hope; the team completed the reversal in the second round at Camp Nou. Danny Garcia equalized the total score in the 83rd minute, and Rivaldo and Kluivert sealed the victory in overtime.

In the following seven years, the two sides staged classic games in the knockout rounds four times. In the 2005 Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona failed to hold on to their 2-1 home advantage in the first leg. Ronaldinho scored two goals at Stamford Bridge, but the home team scored four goals to complete the comeback. At that time, Barcelona had the current sporting director Deco in the team.

The following year's confrontation sparked sparks. Mourinho threw out the "drama" argument - Del Horno fouled Messi in the corner kick in the first round and was directly shown a red card by Norwegian referee Terje Haug. The numerical advantage allowed Barcelona to achieve a reversal (1-2). The Portuguese coach accused Messi of acting: "You know how to perform, and Barcelona has some great theaters." In the second round, Barcelona maintained its advantage (1-1) and advanced.

The Champions League semi-final on May 6, 2009 became Barcelona's most classic moment in the series of confrontations. After 0-0 in the first leg, they fell behind 0-1 in the second leg at Stamford Bridge and Abidal was sent off. When the game entered stoppage time, Iniesta met the ball at the top of the penalty area and shot straight into the blind corner of the goal guarded by Cech. The Red and Blue Legion were in complete excitement, and the players collectively flocked to Iniesta to celebrate. This campaign was also accompanied by controversy. Chelsea complained that referee Ovrebo missed three penalty kicks.

Three years later, the Blues completed their revenge. The plots are strikingly similar: Chelsea won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge, Barcelona returned to home with a 2-1 lead on aggregate, and Terry was sent off, leaving Chelsea with one less player to fight. When the game entered the countdown period, Fernando Torres, who always performed well at Camp Nou, broke into the penalty area and scored, sending the London team into the final.
