Chelsea forward Willian has obtained a habit of scoring spectacular goals and he twice came close to doing just that in the first half of the Champions League clash against Barcelona on Tuesday.

The Brazilian twice came within inches of giving his side the lead in a tight first half at Stamford Bridge.

The first chance came after 33 minutes, Paulinho surrendered possession and Chelsea went on the attack. Eden Hazard fed Willian and he rattled the far post from 25 yards when looking for the far corner, with Marc-Angre Ter Stegen in the visiting goal a mere spectator.

As if that wasn't enough, the Samba star repeated the trick just four minutes before half-time, smashing an effort of the other post from a similar range with many Chelsea fans already out of their seats in celebration.
