Chelsea youth team coach Joe Edwards described their 3-0 UEFA Youth League final defeat to Barcelona as 'an absolute disaster' as they were outclassed in Nyon.
Two goals from Alejandro Marques and a stoppage-time third from Abel Ruiz handed the latest talented crop of La Masia graduates a thoroughly deserved victory.
Chelsea were aiming for a third Youth League triumph in four seasons but failed to perform anywhere near their usual standards and were comprehensively beaten.
'It was an absolute disaster from start to finish, it was so unlike us,' admitted Edwards.
