Champions League
A match of truth for Barcelona. In the event of a loss to Benfica, they would be one step away from elimination from the Champions League
Barcelona has never seen this before. It has regularly qualified for the Champions League without any problems, but this season has been a black one so far. And in the event of a loss to Benfica, it could have fatal consequences.
Barcelona has never seen this before. It has regularly qualified for the Champions League without any problems, but this season has been a black one so far. And in the event of a loss to Benfica, it could have fatal consequences.
Barcelona’s entry into the Champions League group was disastrous. Home loss 0:3 to Bayern Munich, away loss 0:3 to Benfica Lisbon. After two rounds, zero points and a score of 0::6.
At that moment things looked black for the Catalans, but two lucky 1: 0 wins against Dynamo Kiev and things are looking up. But it’s definitely not won. The current table looks like this:
At first glance, Barcelona have everything in their hands, but they have duels with Benfica and Bayern Munich. The Portuguese side will welcome the Portuguese side today, Tuesday night at the Camp Nou, and the result could indicate a lot.
If Xavi’s charges cannot overpower Benfica, they will be in big trouble. The third team in the Liga Nos would jump to second place in Group E. Barcelona would have nothing in their hands and a Benfica victory over Dynamo in the last round would send them into the Europa League.
And that’s still taking into account that Barcelona would have to beat Bayern Munich on their field, which would also be a huge task.
So the alarm bells are ringing at the Camp Nou, because a very unpleasant opponent is coming. Those who saw the first match will remember that Benfica’s 3:0 win was no accident, the Portuguese side overcame their Spanish rival deservedly.
If the Catalans should give the same performance as at Estádio da Luz, it could end in a small tragedy.
