Enzo Maresca got his tactics absolutely spot on as Chelsea decimated Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League group stages.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Blues started Pedro Neto up front<\/a> in order to get in behind their opponent\u2019s notorious high line, with Estevao Willian and Alejandro Garnacho<\/a> also getting a lot of joy at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick admitted he wanted his players to replicate Chelsea\u2019s<\/a> after the devastating result, with the Blues in complete control of the game.<\/p>\n

The winger was one of those who greatly impressed, however it has to be said everyone who featured for the Blues was close to their best.<\/p>\n

The Argentine was full of praise for international colleague Enzo Fernandez<\/a>, praising him on Fernandez\u2019s official Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Garnacho commented: \u201cMy favourite player\u201d, whilst there was also comments of support from the likes of Reece James, Estevao Willian and Marc Cucurella.<\/p>\n

Fernandez started in the heart of midfield alongside Moises Caicedo and James, the trio who are frequently looked to in the big games for the Blues.<\/p>\n

He thought he had opened the scoring after just a few minutes, however it was the first goal disallowed for Chelsea<\/a> following a handball from Wesley Fofana in the build up.<\/p>\n

It was noticeable how Fernandez was the one who was always looking to get Chelsea\u2019s attackers in behind, and while they were at times frustrated by the offside flag, the tactic paid off on more than enough occasions.<\/p>\n
