Barcelona's team bus ambushed
According to Football London, the vehicle came under attack while heading for the evening kick-off.
A window was smashed in the chaos, forcing staff to carry out quick repairs before the squad could continue.
Players were visibly rattled, and once the final whistle sounded, they were hurried to Gatwick Airport.
Police have since opened an investigation into the episode, as cited by The Mirror.
Barcelona crushed by Chelsea after bus incident
The tension of the journey seemed to linger on the pitch. Barcelona, riding on a four-game unbeaten streak, struggled to settle and were punished by a ruthless Chelsea side.
Yet the night might have unfolded differently had Ferran Torres converted a golden chance in the fourth minute. That early miss proved costly as the hosts seized control with relentless precision.
Chelsea’s breakthrough came from a Jules Kounde own goal, followed by a brilliant effort from Estevao that brought Stamford Bridge to its feet.
The Brazilian's stunner put him in the same bracket as Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe as teenagers who scored in their first three Champions League games.
Below is Estevao's spectacular goal:
Liam Delap added a late finish to complete the scoring. Hansi Flick’s men failed to find a response, marking the first time a team under his guidance had failed to register a goal in a Champions League outing.
Their problems deepened when Ronald Araujo received two cautions. The temporary captain was first booked for dissent before bringing down Marc Cucurella, leaving Barcelona with 10 players for the closing stages.
Chelsea now turn their attention to a tricky Premier League meeting with Arsenal on November 30, a contest expected to test both sides at a critical point in the season.
The Blues sit second in the table, six points behind the Gunners, who defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 on Wednesday, November 26.
After that, Chelsea face Leeds and Bournemouth before resuming Champions League duties with a challenging trip to Bergamo to face Kamaldeen Sulemana’s Atalanta.

Barcelona, meanwhile, hope to recover quickly. They host Deportivo Alaves on November 29, playing at the iconic Camp Nou for the second time this season before hosting their first Champions League match at the fabled grounds on December 9 after UEFA relaxed Article 25 of the competition's rules.
