The Barcelona is back in the Champions League and we live it in BRAND Clear. The team which debuts its new faces tonight at the Camp Nou against Viktoria Plzen, the team that looks like the weakest in one of the most difficult groups in this edition of the Champions League.
The Catalans return to the Champions League after last year’s failure, in which Koeman was fired and Xavi could not get Bara into the round of 16, failing against Benfica at home, and they had to play the Europa League.
This season is another story. The market brought Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, Kessi, Kound, Christensen, Marcos Alonso and Bellern in addition to Can Bara Aubameyand, Pjanic, Mingueza, Sertio Dest, Umtiti, Lenglet, Riqui Puig, Braithwaite, Dani Alves and Nico from last year’s team.
The duel paints in favor of Barcelona, which has to avoid repeating what happened last season, when at the Camp they could not win the key duel against Benfica.
Leaving home points could be lethal, considering that they share a group with the Bayern Munich and Inter Milan. A puncture against Viktoria Plzen is not something the culs are looking for tonight on their return to the Champions League.
