Chelsea F.C. - F.C. Barcelona rivalry

No real sources to show that this is a lasting and meaningful rivalry rather than a couple of teams who have played each other recently. Lots of sources are just stats or routine coverage of individual matches. Spike &#39;em (talk) 15:10, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete - there is clearly no significant rivalry here. This is another case of an attempted article on a "rivalry" which is actually just an account of a few matches between two teams -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete A rivalry would have more than contemporaneous sources about the actual Rivalry, discussing it as a Rivalry. I would expect to see evidence of that Rivalry in those sources discussing, distinct to a single upcoming game, the rivalry details. This is fleeting, temporary, news coverage of some (at the time) relatively high profile games. Koncorde (talk) 16:46, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. GiantSnowman 18:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A transfer battle is not a rivalry. KingSkyLord (talk &#124; contribs) 21:23, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete – The teams only clash when they meet in international club tournaments, a total of 17 matches including both ends of multiple two-legged ties over the course of nearly six decades. The prose states that the allegedly rivalry began in the early 2000s, whereas the table lists five matches from the 20th Century. This leaves a total of 12 matches over six Champions League competitions during the past two decades. The understood definition of a sports rivalry requires regular meetings between the teams – e.g. the Manchester derby – but WP:NRIVALRY requires that coverage of any rivalry meet WP:GNG – which is why there is no article on the croquet rivalry between the United States Naval Academy and St. John's College despite it being an annual competition. If sufficient sources are found to meet GNG, please ping me. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 22:24, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Insignificant. If these two have a rivalry significant enough for a separate article, than an article for any pairing of two major European clubs can be said to be worthy of an article. They're not. oknazevad (talk) 02:18, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Rivalry made by some mass media as much of the international club rivalries by analogy with the nations rivalry.--Dantetheperuvian (talk) 15:50, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete In my opinion, there is greater rivalry between the women's teams of these clubs than between the men's. I agree with the point made above that a rivalry requires seasonal meetings between the two teams and, I think, a degree of proximity as in Liverpool versus either of the Manchester clubs. Chelsea v Barcelona matches are luck of the draw encounters.
