FC Barcelona tonight meet Portuguese giants Benfica in order to determine who progresses into the Champions League last-16. Barca, of course, won the first leg in Lisbon last week, edging a tight game thanks to a strike from the increasingly talismanic Raphinha.
Indeed, Hansi Flick’s side had it tough. Pau Cubarsi was sent off during the opening exchanges and is duly suspended for the return leg tonight. Still, having weathered the storm, the Catalan giants will no doubt feel confident about reaching the final eight.
Barca saw their LaLiga meeting with Osasuna postponed on Saturday after the death of club doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. As such, it’s likely to be a hugely emotional occasion inside their temporary home tonight. Benfica aren’t out of it yet but will need to be at their very best to turn things around.
