The atmosphere was electric at the Camp Nou as Barcelona hosted Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16.

Arguably one of the biggest games of the Champions League season got underway at the Camp Nou, and the home supporters knew it.

Barcelona held a decent advantage heading into the second leg after coming away from Stamford Bridge with a 1-1 draw thanks to Lionel Messi's late strike which cancelled out Willian's earlier effort.

Chelsea were welcomed by an intimidating atmosphere with spine-tingling chanting from the hosts and a warning banner covering one of the stands: 'God save the king', it read, alongside a huge picture of Lionel Messi.
