After a disappointing draw away to Rayo Vallecano in their first game after the international break, Barcelona move on to a monster European clash as they welcome FC Porto the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium for their penultimate Champions League group stage match.
The disastrous loss to Shakhtar Donetsk in their last European game complicated Barça’s life in a group they were supposed to cruise through, and now the Catalans could find themselves in real trouble if things go south again against the second best team in Group H.
Barça will mathematically qualify for the knockout stages with a win and a draw could be enough if Shakhtar don’t beat Royal Antwerp in the other game in the group, but a defeat would leave things wide open ahead of the final matchday.
