The day Torres and Chelsea shocked the Camp Nou

Barcelona have the opportunity to claim the last remaining spot in the Champions League quarter-finals on home turf at the Camp Nou. The 1-1 draw of the first leg will give them some peace of mind, although they cannot rely on it.

Chelsea will return to the stadium where they have fond memories. In the 2011-2012 season, the London side drew 2-2 at Camp Nou and progressed to the final of the Champions League, where they defeated Bayern Munich on penalties.

Barcelona were two to the good thanks to goals from Busquets and Iniesta. When everything seemed destined to end at 2-1, Fernando Torres turned the game on its head.

In the 91st minute Barcelona launched another attack in search of a goal, piling men forward. A Chelsea clearance turned into an assist for Torres.

The Spanish international striker drove forward and faced Victor Valdes one-on-one. The Barcelona goalkeeper outfoxed by Torres, who rounded the stopper and rolled the ball home.

Chelsea will cling to the memory of that match when facing Barcelona this evening.
