It marked a rare defeat for the Catalan giants, who had not been beaten on home soil since 2019.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The last time Barca suffered a home loss was against Sporting Huelva in the league in February 2019. Saturday's upset is also the first time Barcelona have failed to find the net in a match in two years, having last drawn a blank in a Champions League game at Wolfsburg in April 2022.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Barca were unbeaten in all competitions this season, having won 35 of their 37 games before coming up against Emma Hayes' team. The win gives the Blues an important lead before they welcome the Catalan side to London to play out the return fixture of the Champions League tie next week.

DID YOU KNOW?

Chelsea will spend the next week preparing for the second leg of the tie at Stamford Bridge on April 27. A win will see them progress to the Champions League final for the second time in their history as they aim to win the European crown before Hayes' departure to take over as United States Women's coach.
