Sánchez told reporters:

"Cucurella put Yamal in his pocket. Everyone looks good until they face Premier League teams."

Afterwards, a journalist asked Sánchez if he considered Barcelona the favorites for the Champions League, to which the keeper replied:

"Favorites? Barcelona? No – we are the favorites," Sánchez declared.

Yesterday's 3-0 victory for Chelsea over Barcelona became the Londoners' biggest ever win against the Catalans. In the 27th minute, Jules Koundé scored an own goal, and in the 44th, Araújo let his team down by picking up a second yellow card, leaving the Blaugrana a man down. In the 55th minute, Estevão doubled Chelsea's lead, and in the 73rd, Liam Delap made it a rout – 3-0.
