Chelsea is the only English side who has an impressive record at Camp Nou. They haven't lost a single game in their last four trips to Barcelona since 2005. In fact, there is no team in all of Europe with such an impressive record against the Blaugrana side.

On March 07, 2006, Chelsea fought hard at Barcelona and recorded a 1 -1 draw. Only Ronaldinho's moment of magic saved Barcelona back then. In the next season, a last-gasp Drogba stunner helped the Blues to earn a 2-2 draw. Again in 2009, they comfortably drew 0-0 against the Catalan giants.

In 2012, Chelsea came back from two goals behind and a man down to draw level with Barcelona with the help of Torres' 92nd-minute finish. The draw in this high-octane game helped them beat Barcelona in the fixture and proceed to the final.

The striking similarity in all these games is that the Chelsea displayed a disciplined backline which did not let Messi and co. to penetrate their defensive unit easily. They managed to keep Messi from scoring in the all the five games they have played at Camp Nou and will be hoping for a similar result this time around.
