Barcelona – Benfica : Preview & Prediction
We expected the worst after his debut in this new edition of the Champions League. With two heavy defeats against Bayern Munich (3-0) and Benfica Lisbon (3-0), the Catalan club already had no room for error, to hope to reach the knockout stages of C1. And the Blaugrana have fully recovered by winning twice against Dynamo Kiev. Two successes that allowed him to climb to second place in their group. Barça also has two lengths ahead of Benfica Lisbon (3rd) and they welcome the latter on the fifth day. If successful, FC Barcelona would therefore secure its place for the knockout stages of the Champions League. So hard not to imagine the Catalan club doing the job during this poster.
Now, FC Barcelona is also coached by Xavi. Having taken over from Ronald Koeman during the international period, the Spanish technician was able to heal his debut in La Liga, against Espanyol Barcelona (1-0). By offering himself a first victory at the head of Barça, he allowed his team to move up to sixth place in the championship. He will therefore try to continue in the Champions League. And Benfica Lisbon does not land at best, since it remains on two heavy losses in a row against Bayern Munich in C1. Certainly, the Portuguese club had offered a large victory in the first leg (3-0). FC Barcelona, however, must still have this defeat through their throats. He will do everything possible to take his revenge, at home, and continue a little longer in the queen of European competitions.
