The European champions then took the lead 15 minutes later when Sandro curled home a stunning effort from the edge of the area but Chelsea rescued the draw in the 85th minute when Gary Cahill beat goalkeeper Jordi Masip to the ball to head home for 2-2.
It went to a shootout and it was the Premier League champions who emerged victorious as Falcao, Moses, Ramires and Remy all converted with Halilovic and Pique missing for Barca.
