Barça’s Champions League Journey: Next Goal – Beat Porto

2023-11-08 10:42:48

Tuesday evening, Barça missed a great opportunity to qualify for the round of 16 of the Champions League. Sikan’s goal in the 40th minute prevented Xavi’s men from validating their ticket from now on. However, the Catalans are still leaders of their group H, tied with Porto and they are still in the running to continue their European adventure.

Next goal: Beat Porto

On Tuesday November 28 (9 p.m.), the Blaugrana host Porto on the 5th day of the Champions League. On the pitch at the Olympic Stadium, they will have to take all 3 points if they want to finish first in their group.

With 9 points out of 12 possible, the Catalans are tied with the Portuguese (+6 goal difference for both teams). Antwerp can no longer qualify and can secure a place in the Europa League.

Winners 0-1 in Porto, Barça can afford to draw to finish first but a victory would mathematically ensure them the leadership position, if Shakhtar does not beat Antwerp at the same time.

The last day if necessary

In the last match, Barça travels to Antwerp. If they beat Porto and Shakhtar don’t beat Antwerp on matchday 5, they will need to take a point on the final day.
