Conte Laments Chelsea Loss To Barca

Antonio Conte has insisted that Barcelona's Champions League win over Chelsea on Wednesday was unfair after his team's valiant efforts were overshadowed by Lionel Messi at the Camp Nou.

Messi scored twice and set up Ousmane Dembele for the other as the hosts won 3-0 and progressed to the quarterfinals 4-1 on aggregate.

Chelsea, however, were unlucky after they were again denied by the woodwork.

Willian had been robbed by the post twice in the first leg while on Wednesday a Marcos Alonso free-kick smacked off the post while Antonio Rudiger headed against the woodwork late on.

"We have no regrets," said Conte. "If you watch the game, you can see the final result is unfair.

"We conceded a goal, our start was terrible. We hit the post four times, this is very strange.
