Chelsea Under-19s made it five games unbeaten in the UEFA Youth League, as the young Blues fought back at Cobham to earn a 1-1 draw with Barcelona. Look back on some of the standout pictures from the match here.
The Blues set the tone early at Cobham, spending much of the first half on the front foot and keeping Barcelona inside their own half. We created several promising openings and moved the ball with confidence, but the breakthrough would not come before the interval.
Barcelona went ahead shortly after the restart. Adrian Guerrero found space in the box and finished well, giving the visitors the lead and prompting Calum McFarlane to look to his bench.
Ibrahim Rabbaj was introduced and made an immediate impact. He met a low ball inside the area and calmly guided home his first UEFA Youth League goal to bring the Blues level.
From that point, Chelsea pushed hard for a winner. The Under 19s showed real determination and energy as the game opened up, but the decisive moment just would not arrive. However, the performance ensured our unbeaten run in the competition continued, stretching it to five matches as the young Blues maintained our impressive form.
