While the end of the group stage looms in the Champions League, FC Barcelona is still not where it would like to be. Only 15th in the rankings, just ahead of Olympique de Marseille, the Catalans are in a good position to make the play-offs but will have to hope for a series of favorable results to advance directly to the eighth. Which means a victory against Slavia Prague this Wednesday.
So far, the Blaugrana have not shown their best face in C1, losing heavily against Chelsea in November (3-0), as against Paris Saint-Germain (2-1) and Newcastle (1-2) earlier in the season. But Lamine Yamal, suspended this Wednesday, and his team have found a smile again in recent weeks, with their coronation in the Spanish Super Cup, thanks to their success in the final against Real Madrid (3-2).
The Slavia Prague – FC Barcelona match kicks off at 9 p.m. this Wednesday, January 21. The meeting will be followed live on television on Canal + Foot.
