Chelsea continued their impressive run across all competitions as the Blues thrashed 10-man La Liga champions Barcelona 3-0 in their Champions League tie at Stamford Bridge.
Barça took the lead inside the opening minutes through a powerful solo effort from Robert Lewandowski into the bottom corner beyond Unai Simón.
The player said, “My competitive character stems from the love I feel for this club and everything it represents.”
The Cameroon-born French footballer has been without a club since his departure from Lille at the end of last season.
The result marked Barcelona’s second win of the season.
Reigning champions Barcelona started their LaLiga title defence in a remarkable fashion, beating Mallorca 3-0 to open the new season.
Mr Probierz said, “I would like to thank all the footballers whom I had the pleasure of meeting on this path.’’
Arsenal remain the only English club to have won the European title, with the latest triumph coming 18 years after the club first clinched the tournament.
This LaLiga title is Barcelona’s third trophy of the season, following their triumphs over Real Madrid in both the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.
All eyes now turn to the San Siro, where the second leg will decide who reaches the final.
