Barcelona to avoid elimination in the group round
Madrid: The Spanish club Barcelona has to fight hard to avoid the embarrassment of being eliminated in the preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League. But on the other hand, the German club Bayern Munich is in the mood. Tonight’s battle at Barcelona’s Camp Nou is sure to be bloody.
Having previously lost to Bayern and Inter Milan in the group round matches, Barcelona’s pre-quarter entry is in the balance. Even if they beat Bayern today and Viktoria Plzen in the last match, Barca may not reach the last 16. Because Barca is third in Group C with only four points from four matches. Bayern with 12 points has secured the prequarter as the first place. Second-placed Inter Milan has seven points. If they beat Viktoria Plzen today, then Barca can’t progress.
Today is crucial for another Spanish club Atletico Madrid in Group B. Atletico’s match is against Bayern Leverkusen. Atlético are third in Group B with four points behind Club Brugge with 10 points and Porto with 6 points. Liverpool, second in Group A, will face Ajax today to secure the pre-quarters.
