Barcelona Team Bus Ambushed in London
The official Barcelona team bus was ambushed in West London last night, shattering a window just hours before the Spanish giants were due to face Chelsea in a crucial Champions League showdown. The shocking attack left players and staff shaken, forcing a temporary repair to be made so the squad could be rushed to Gatwick Airport immediately after the final whistle.
Police Launch Investigation
Metropolitan Police officers raced to the scene following the incident and have launched a full investigation into the attack. Reports indicate that Barcelona club officials are furious about the lack of security that led to this serious breach. The ambush occurred as the bus transported the team from their hotel to the stadium for the highly anticipated European fixture.
Chelsea Capitalise on Turbulent Night
On the pitch, Chelsea took full advantage of Barcelona's disrupted preparations, securing a commanding 3-0 victory. The scoring opened with a Jules Kounde own goal from a clever Chelsea corner routine, with Pedro Neto's flick deflecting off the Barcelona defender. Barcelona's night worsened when Ronald Araujo received a second yellow card shortly before half-time, reducing the visitors to ten men. Former Manchester City forward Ferran Torres compounded their misery by squandering a golden first-half opportunity from close range. After the break, Chelsea dominated completely with Estevao Willian and striker Liam Delap adding further goals to seal an emphatic win for Enzo Maresca's side.
