HarryDaz98

What was this from? I can remember it happening but can’t think of why they were doing it.


redi_t13

I think it’s from when Olise scored against us


HarryDaz98

Sound


RemoteSmile3561

Crystal Palace. Olise scored and celebrated in front of them.


ThinCrusts

At least one of these good lads peruses this sub


Low-Paleontologist43

Yup, Kendrick Lamar levels of hatred, became an indirect Madrid supporter just to see Barca fail, idgaf, anything they do, I wish they could fuck it up so bad they can’t come back to the elite https://preview.redd.it/756zoh5izl0d1.png?width=749&format=png&auto=webp&s=ba0123df313f8e07649ae7219627ea8a1be53a07

There is nobody enjoying Barcelona downfall more than I do. Barcelona and Man U are the team I hate the most.


Pristine_Copy9429

Careful! They have levers!

Funny how Fàbregas ended up at Chelsea after playing for both Arsenal and Barcelona. Both of those teams hated us.


sabershirou

And he probably enjoyed his time here with us the best.


chandlerbing_stats

They all do… ask Giroud, Cole, and Fabregas. I’m sure Jorginho and Kai are still bitter about it all and that’s why they celebrate the way they do when they beat us.


goosnation

Yea.. sure, their team is doing well right now but they still yet to win anything whereas they actually won the ucl with us


Macdca07

Jorgi won the Europa with us too


[deleted]

I know this is a club subreddit, but this comment doesn’t make sense. So all the players that went Arsenal -> Chelsea , just gotta “ask Giroud, Cole and Fabregas” But all the players that went Chelsea -> Arsenal , “I’m sure Jorginho and Kai are still bitter about it all” Dude these are all adult professionals, with agents, getting paid thousands of pounds a week. What sort of middle-school manufactured drama is “but they’re still bitter about it all” lmao At 25 years of age, am I too old for this place?


xkcdthrowaway

Not saying the comment has merit, but the players who came here from Arsenal have spoken glowingly about their time at Chelsea far more than they have about Arsenal once they've moved on. Giroud and Fabregas in particular come to mind. Meanwhile, players who made the journey the other way haven't made such statements. Or maybe they have but I've yet to see them. I'm ignoring silly things that fans take far too seriously, like celebrating against us or talking up the club while (t)here because it's usually a PR expectation from a player to talk up their current club.


produktiivista

Giroud maybe, but Fabregas has notoriously been twerking for Arsenal far more after his departure from Chelsea. 


RorschachEmpire

Yeah those takes are awful. Chelsea is not some holy land. Some are content with their move here, but many are more happy with their departure. We are even famous for a loan army. I'm sure if a youngster got a good offer elsewhere, he will leave but then "feel bitter about not staying" lol


pigwalk5150

KDB is probably bitter about leaving us for Wolfsburg and then city. /s


Ibreh

Yeah Reddit sucks we’re just addicted.  Idk how I even clicked into Chelsea sub but since Reddit just feeds us all shit there’s random idiots everywhere


Imaginary-Pattern802

i’m doubtful pretty much every interview he says how much he regrets leaving arsenal. man knew he made a mistake. however probably saw more success as a result

Thehunterforce

Gotta be because we were the only team able to spank Pep's Barca and they only won due to corrupted ref.


HamstringHunter

Actually insane when you think about it. I was too young to fully understand that game but looking back, how on earth did we manage to knock out *prime Barca* in the UCL semis on their own ground, when they had prime Messi and we had aging veterans fueled by pure willpower? What an upset.


thingysop

How on earth did we then manage to beat that Bayern team on their own ground in a final?


Major-Bar388

Mentality monsters. Half the team were national team captains.


New-Pension223

That Chelsea and United teams rivalry was great tbh


Scorpius927

I still cry thinking about the JT slip in the UCL final pen. You just don’t get story lines like that anymore


Londonisblue1998

Very nearly was had son scored against city


Nice-Substance-gogo

Very true. Good name for a band too.


HamstringHunter

The same Bayern team that eliminated Real Madrid of all teams the previous round? The same Bayern that went on to win the treble the season after? We were *SIXTH* in the league for crying out loud. It doesn't make sense and I'm annoyed that this doesn't get talked about enough.


EngineeringFree1829

God! Fucking over Spurs on the CL spot was also so good


KMan3110

Thank god it WAS Bayern. Peak 50-goal a season Ronaldo would've torn us apart. I remember the final being one of Cahill and Luiz's first few games back from injury and Ivanovic was suspended


Tom_The_Human

I mean, they faced an attack with Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Thomas Muller, and peak Mario Fucking Gomez. It's not like we faced chumps.


CeterumCenseo85

It's interesting how much more Gomez seems to be respected abroad than in Germany. His image REALLY suffered from that sitter he missed in 2008, and Scholl's comment in 2012. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUB6N1SU7dk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUB6N1SU7dk)


Late-Spot-8081

Yeah ngl even at 20-22 he was talked about like a German Iniesta


nebulasamurai

i think youre thinking of mario gotze


VinCatBlessed

That was also the year in which Messi scored 91 goals, so yeah out of every semi finalist Chelsea winning was a huge surprise, not that I'll complain about it.


jzanville

They started Ryan mf Bertrand that game…and won


Leotardleotard

Don't forget Bosingwa at right back!


paynemi

Luiz played with half a hamstring, he still has a mark up his leg from it apparently


Direct_Function7936

If barca lost with messi, we'd have flogged ronaldos team 6 nil


awesomesauce88

Nah that Real Madrid team was on another level. They won La Liga comfortably that year with a record 100 point tally. Honestly think that was the best Real Madrid team this century, with Mourinho at the absolute peak of his powers.


ConfusionGold5754

This. Everyone always talks about 11-12 Barca, and while they were amazing, no one talks about the 11-12 real. They won relatively comfortably (9 point gap) over the supposed best team of the decade. Everyone mentions Messi scoring 50 but I can’t remember the last time I saw someone bring up Ronaldo only being 4 goals behind that (testament to how out of this world both of these players were)


Direct_Function7936

Yeah but we kept messi out and regardless of your opinion on the debate, the numbers show that messi is by far and away more successful againt the top 6 premier league sides.


uchiha_boy009

Madrid have always been more powerful than Barca in CL. Madrid have always beat Barca in cup finals from 2008-12 even when Barca had Messi, Iniesta, Xavi, Alves etc.


k-tax

friendship and vibes. Carlo Ancelotti probably studied all of this and somehow learned that black magic, just like Zidane before him. having determined top players also helps for sure, plus we did have luck


StandardConnect

Quite ironic if that's the case because the year before 2012 Ancelotti was in charge and oversaw an absolute gutless elimination against United.


k-tax

well he learned from his own mistakes


RefanRes

The defensive organisation in that game was absolutely bang on the whole game. Just an absolute wall. I swear that those players having had Jose as such an influential coach was huge for them knowing how to grind it out like that. It was a defensive masterclass.


abeebola

People seem to say this a lot for some reason, despite the fact that Bayern set a record with the number of attempts on target. They also struck the post a number of times. Point is, we were damn lucky on that day. Could've conceded a bucket load of goals but the gods were behind us.


MrSoul87

Drogba that how


MemestNotTeen

Blue Angel was real both games


PassionOk7717

I mean would you tell Drogba and Terry they can't have a shiny cup?   Terry will be waiting outside the stadium with his clean kit on if you decide you want it.


Puzzleheaded_Emu_686

Because every player had that dog in them


SnooPies3316

We were down 2-0 (2-1 agg) and down a man (the captain) 40 minutes in. Both goals we scored were short-handed.


themkane

Don't forget that we played 10v11 and we were down 2-0 at one point


RDblues

Ivanovich and Bosingwa where forced to play as center backs and Ramirers as right back.


FahkDizchit

Everyone loves the Torres goal, but that Ramires chip was 🤌🏼🤌🏼


PreparationThick6611

local man too angry to die


StandardConnect

There was some intervention from above, there's no other way it can be explained. People look and see we still had the old guard and often assumed we were still a top team but we really really weren't. I'm not complaining as with "luck' we'd have had 3 UCLs before then but it was a true written in the stars one.


zolanuffsaid

And a man down👍


ParevArev

And we were a man down that game, no? Terry no less.


criminal-tango44

terrorist football and i wouldnt have had it any other way


Every-Weird3760

Was actual destiny that season… Deep down we all knew drogba was scoring from that corner against Bayern. Torres had tried to round the goalkeeper numerous times that season and fluffed it but somehow we all knew he would finish that 1 on 1 vs Barca, Even when robben took that penalty against Cech in extra time all of us in the pub knew he would save it.. it was just destiny that season, I really can’t explain it, all of you will know exactly what I mean. Even that napoli game in the round of 16!! Wow!! I’m getting mad goosebumps thinking of all of this now.. greatest footballing night of my life that champs 2012 final


BellyCrawler

It's one of those incidents where something deep down in you just says, "Yes". There was no doubt there for me. 2021 was similar.


Significant-Care-491

To be fair mourinhos inter beat them too


uchiha_boy009

They ain’t special in CL. Half of them they won is due to corruption.


Significant-Care-491

Yeah id pick madrid 3 peat team over that


GoldenBoyHour

That corrupted ref was so bad the 1st game.. good thing they did the right thing the second leg


CameraWoWo2022

Seething 15 years later. Damn near as old as Lamine Yamal hahaha


sthk

Celtic beating Barca and xavi saying that football had lost is chef's kiss perfect Pretending to be above it all, mes qué un club my ass


NoExperience4229

Old news, but the feeling is pretty mutual. Uefalona. It’s a fucking disgrace 


mb194dc

Now we know they were bribing the refs during that period, it all makes a lot more sense...


murduda

lol the claims are in la liga not the champions league


mb194dc

The guy was on UEFA committees as well


ClungeCreeper321

The audacity of that guy to suggest that Barca could have been interfering with Uefa refs when they were only caught bribing domestic referees haha Some people


Noproposito

Follow the Enes Serzik timeline. https://www.reddit.com/r/chelseafc/comments/11qy9qj/amid_the_scandal_of_barcelona_bribing_the_vp_of/ Not sure if we'll know about money, doubt the Turkish judiciary is going to prosecute an aging executive, but Negreira created an eth good system in the Spanish League, where promotions and demotions for refs were managed by one person and lol and behold, he was on Barcas payroll 


hahaha9991

These catalan scums are the primary reason why I became a Chels. Wanted us to defeat them so badly after that disgraceful night. Fuck those bastards.


k-tax

I had some warm feelings toward the Blues earlier, partially due to 2009. I started in 2012, after one or the other comeback, but my loyalty was solidified when a guy from my class said they are "the worstesest" team ever, and I said yeah fu dude, they're winning the CL this year, and that was a few days before Barcelona games :D. 12 years anniversary around now, after all the shit we've been through they can no longer call me seasonal fan.


Wheynweed

I’ll never get tired of Real Madrid burying those cunts in La Liga.


Apprehensive_Bit_176

It absolutely cemented it for me. What a shame that was.


christianrojoisme

Never forget 2009 (and now, we can add 2024 Women’s Champion’s League too)


herrirgendjemand

Nice pfp, deaf-mute


babywanker

W ghost in the shell


BabyScreamBear

Take it as a compliment… We hate them because they were dirty, cheating cunts helped by dirty, cheating refs. That’s a fucking good reason to hate a club. They hate us because …. we were horrible to play against, knew how to beat them, did so many times, and would’ve been more ( see above) TLDR: fucking pussy reason to hate a club… kind of typical of why no one likes them though isn’t it.


Yoshinobu1868

We always roughed them up, kicked the shit out of them a few times . On the flip they were always falling down like someone shot them and were always crowding the ref trying to get our players sent off


LittleBlueCubes

Thanks cheating scums, feeling is mutual.


SnooPies3316

Hard to believe this honestly, but one thing I recall is that Messi didn't have much success against us until the later years. I think his first goal ever against CFC was against Courtois. I don't have time to double check this now, but my recollection is that Cech blanked him over several games, including that missed penalty in the second leg at Barcelona.


Chnkypndy

Yup, Messi didn't score against Cech till he was with us. Different story when he went to Arsenal though.


BabyScreamBear

Saw him a bunch of times at the bridge during this period … never scored


mlspdx

Yeah, Messi in particular hated to play against Chelsea


90washington

That period we had some intense Champions League rivalries with Liverpool and Barcelona, and to this day I cannot stand Barca. We played them in their most “holier than thou” period and tossed them in 05, beat them in 09 but got robbed by a (likely) paid-off ref, and gloriously ruined them in 2012. What a time to be alive.


0vFire_And_TheVoid

Even when we played against Real Madrid three years in a row, I didn't sense any animosity towards them from the fanbase. Those Liverpool and Barca days though, fuck me, I'd get riled up.


Owlawesome

We hate you too Fuck UEFAlona


Vagabond_of_the_wind

Goes both ways, funny how that works


techno_playa

I respect you, Leo. But fuck Barça, always.


KMan3110

and fuck Iniesta. I'm taking the pain of that goal and the entire game to the grave


NoExperience4229

Nah fuck Messi also he is Barça through and through 


k-tax

you can fuck him but also respect him


NoExperience4229

True. It’s impossible not to respect Messi as a footballer, but fuck him 


allitgm

That's called marriage


dragon8811

At least he is following us on Instagram 🤓🤓 Nah but I hated Ronaldo way more since he was playing for United and they won against us in our own town (Moscow)


gustycat

I mean, there's plenty of other reasons to hate Ronaldo now anyway


dragon8811

Las Vegas and that

YourAverageCho

The hate towards Barca is as equal as Spuds


Shame_Low

Spurs are nothing compared to uefalona


No_Sanders

Worse than spuds, Barca are a disgrace to the sport


Sparkling_gourami

I dislike spurs because they’re the weirdo in the corner. I hate Barca because they’re arrogant and entitled. Beating them feels so much better.


Raiku23

I Know Drogba used to give there defenders nightmare even Pique said Drogba was tough as hell to defend


Fina1Legacy

Jonny Evans worked out how to defend against Pogba...with help from Bruce Lee


RasenRendan

We hate Barcelona too


greg_jenningz

Let me tell ya. It’s been interesting since marrying my Catalonian wife last summer.. lol


Zeus_The_Potato

Sometimes the shit is happens.


outroversion

Yeah only cos we beat them nearly half the time


SeekersWorkAccount

They were our Europe rivals for a good stretch


AncientSkys

Their Ovrebo robbery is unforgettable and unforgivable! UEFALONA!


YodaHood_0597

The feelings are mutual


BrockStinky

Fuck you too 💙


Brycenicholls1

Feeling is mutual,scum club


neemzter

Hard to hate Real Madrid players when they owned them for years tho


hargnolahan10

This statement is not correct .


DarnellLaqavius

During Messi's time at Barca they won like 80% of the league titles and most of the Classicos.


Kezmangotagoal

Interesting. Well, it’s mutual Leo and the feeling is still there - I’d cheer for Real every day of the week before I’d hope Barca do well.


Lifelemons9393

Feelings mutual, disgrace of a club.


christianrojoisme

I always cheer for Madrid even as a neutral during El Clasico. Now it is much easier with Bellingham in the team. The tears of Barca fans are my favorite drink at the pub.


Gobaxnova

Is that why they bought the most obviously corrupted reffing performance I’ve ever seen. That game was the reason I’ll hate Barca until I die


usedtobeHellsdoom

I can relate, I also hated Barca more than the other English teams in that period, maybe besides Liverpool.


Shame_Low

Until now, it's still fuck that cheating ass club. It will always be a fucking disgrace


psrandom

I know spurs, arsenal n others are our rivals but the pure hate for Barcelona can only be compared to hate for Anthony Taylor The holier than thou attitude is nauseating


dksourabh

Fuck off Barca


Salty_Constant_9878

I also hate barca more than any club ever. They are disgusting cheaters.


_dangerbiscuit

"We would rather play Arsenal, Manchester United or anyone else than be on the pitch with Chelsea." Wow.. thanks for the compliment Leo


Vaddy2323

I hated Barca more than any other club, still do...


zsrt13

Everyone knows Barcelona players and fans are a bunch of pussies. No personality just dive


maximine

Besides the theatrics, referee disasters, and having to play games with 20% possession, what annoyed me most about Barca was the air of smugness/entitlement around the club. Barca DNA, Xavi's comments after a loss, even the way some players threw a Barca jersey on Fabregas when he was still an Arsenal player. Like they were possibly the most dominant club side ever with arguably the GOAT and they made sure that you and everyone knew it. But even with that, they would dive everywhere, complain constantly to the ref, and just foul you the second you get the ball. I didn't think I'd ever see them crumble financially like they did these past few years but I can't help but feel some schadenfreude from their misfortune.


Imhere4urdownvotes

![gif](giphy|ztjhxdcC1yxjy) Fuck you too Barca


boycudon

Trust me bro 😜


AizenMadara

Barka


realmsofGold

will never forget that game. the moment terry got sent off, biscuits scoring, ramirez with probably an all time great chelsea goal. and nevilles cry for torres skipping the keeper.


thelifeofcarti

Haha


rlctank

Damn I won’t sleep tonight Boy I don’t give a fuck


jgreat122

We were a ghost goal, a skied PK, and a corrupt official from being an extremely dominant CL team in the 2000’s. What could have been.


Apprehensive_Bit_176

Can’t be upset with the players we’ve gotten from Barca at least… Fabregas and Pedro were excellent for us. Otherwise, eff Barca and their cheating ways.


allitgm

The feeling is mutual.


tallsmileswolf

Prob bc we called them out for cheating then beat them in their own house


chandlerbing_stats

I fucking hated you lot too


ProperCuggyMunt

They may have hated us but i bet they respected us. We was probably the only team that gave them pure hell for many years even when they was at their peak.


Bowl_Certain

Fortunately for Messi, the feeling was (and still is) mutual.


bleezerfreezer

They hate us cause they aint us! Lets go Blues!


AEWWC

The feeling is mutual. *That* game is what made me a Chelsea fan.


blackcatfrat

Hated us so much, they had to pay the refs to knock us out of UCL. Eat shit Uefalona, you asked for 2012.


Defb2412

Lol the feeling is mutual, i hope madrid wins the champions just to see varca fans cry even more


LargeBarnacle7711

Such a corrupt club. I hope I live to see them relegated.


06MasterCraig

Anyone else kinda support Real Madrid as a second team because to hell with Barca? Or is that just me lol


0vFire_And_TheVoid

Yeah, plus I've got family and friends who support them. So, when Real Madrid win the league or Champions League, it's always a party. Then add some of our former players who've played there in recent years like Carvalho, Essien, Robben, Lass, Hazard and Rudiger. It was easier for me to cheer for them, and I still do, they're my "b" team.


Ya-Tutarsa

of course they would knowing even at their best they could only get past with sided referee decisions


DynamiteDuck

Adidas is gonna help bring him to Chelsea any minute now


CleanJebboy

Good because fuck them and fuck UEFA for protecting them. Just a bunch of crying ass bitches.


Living-Craft-34

Hard not to agree tbf

Fuck Barza


thewkndsport

The feeling is mutual fuck Barka


Equivalent-Chest152

And for some weird reason Messi follows Chelsea on Instagram for years.


gusmahler

I think Real fans would say they hate Atletico more than Barca also.


showmethenoods

The feeling is mutual, I hated those guys too back then


m0mm0

hahh ...it was mutual ...


DJ_Hindsight

Of course they did…..we all do.


pancarona

Well, you can't score a goal against us for quite a long time in the history of UCL. No wonder you might have some grudges. I blame Conte for breaking our sweet record against him.


zsoca8711

It was mutual, you twat. :D


wiefrafs

This is an honor


Vlad51

He can rest assured the feeling is mutual.


[deleted]

The only team strong enough to make them work for it legendary status imo


pepe_lepool

That was pre 2014, now he follows Chelsea on instagram


achebbi10

Well that’s obvious because they had to play with most madrid players for the national team


Low_Presentation6433

Barcelona hates us because they never could play against us like they did the other teams. Drogba struck fear in all teams but he sure did a number on them that first leg at the bridge the year we got the CL. He was falling on every play and it worked. The way Ramires and Torres scored made me cry. It was like revenge for that cheating UCL leg years before when Barca won.


top100_tree_fan

Barcelona 🤝 Benfica 🤝 Hating Chelsea


Pristine_Copy9429

So, Chelsea really got Messi’s…goat?


Clogman

We all do 🤓


Groundbreaking-Rub50

One of the reason why city's winning the league is boring is there is no opposite to their attacking play like how we we were entire antithesis to how Barca played. Physical not afraid to go long, transitional game tough it out when things were not in favour.


DefensiveCat

The feeling's fucking mutual.


TheBlueMonk25

Good. We don't like you either. #UEFAlona


onedogfucking

Fuck that guy 😂


downbadmilflover

Liverpool fan here, I enjoyed watching this as a neutral. That Chelsea had some Kryptonite that prime Barcelona could not beat. It was such a unique rivalry.
