CHELSEA star Tammy Abraham endured a bonkers first-half against Barcelona – as he was smacked by the ball and missed an absolute sitter before scoring a classy goal.
The Blues forward, 21, was first smacked in the stomach after Pedro launched a shot straight at him.
Abraham then left Chelsea supporters baffled as he managed to sky the ball over the bar from just six yards out with the scores at 0-0.
But the England youngster then made amends as put Frank Lampard’s side in front with a smart finish.
Here’s what happened – and how Chelsea fans on Twitter reacted…
ACT 1 – TIMBERRR!
AFTER a quiet start to the game, Pedro unleashed a vicious strike at goal – only for it to be blocked… by his own team-mate.
An unsuspecting Abraham accidentally stepped in the way and got taken out… badly.
One fan even joked Pedro must “hate” Abraham for the spice he put on the shot.

ACT 2 – CURSE OF THE No9 SHIRT
CHELSEA supporters have long bemoaned the curse of the No9 shirt.
And they were convinced it was in full flow again as Abraham managed to miss a sitter in the pre-season friendly against Barca.
One evev wrote: “Abraham just put it over the bar from six f***ing yards. Our No9 is definitely cursed.”

ACT 3 – GOOOOOOOOAL!
FORTUNATELY for Abraham, he redeemed himself just moments later in a breathless period of play.
After Sergio Busquets gave the ball away, Abraham smartly rounded the goalkeeper before poking the ball into an empty net.
