The home side found themselves trailing 0-3 after just 23 minutes, a deficit that seemed insurmountable. However, Chelsea managed to claw their way back into the match, ultimately securing a 3-3 draw. This impressive feat was achieved despite the setback of having Graeme Le Saux sent off when the score was 1-3. The match remains a memorable example of Chelsea\u2019s resilience during the 1990\/91 season.<\/p>\n<h2>6th April 2010<\/h2>\n<p>Fast forward to 2010, and the football world witnessed a stunning individual performance by Lionel Messi in the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals. Arsenal had taken an aggregate lead over Barcelona, thanks to a goal from Nicklas Bendtner. However, the 93,330 spectators at the Nou Camp were treated to a masterclass from Messi, who scored all four goals in Barcelona\u2019s 4-1 victory. This result secured a 6-3 aggregate win for Barcelona, showcasing Messi\u2019s extraordinary talent and solidifying his reputation as one of the game\u2019s greats. The match remains a significant moment in the 2009\/10 Champions League campaign.<\/p>\n<p>      <!-- Article End -->\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6th April 1991 On this day in 1991, Chelsea staged a remarkable comeback in the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":921,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=920"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/disport.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
