Barcelona lost for the first time under Xavi Hernandez last
weekend – a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis in LaLiga.
But on Wednesday, the Catalans face the possibility of
exiting from the Champions League at the group stages for the first time in two
decades.
Barca somewhat have control of their fate as they travel to
Germany to play Bayern Munich.
Victory at the Allianz Arena will secure their spot in the
last 16, as the Bundelisga champions will surely finish winners of Group E.
If Barcelona lose against Bayern and Benfica fail to beat
Dynamo Kiev, then Barcelona will qualify.
For Benfica to finish as runners-up instead of Barcelona,
they will need to beat Dynamo and hope for a Barcelona defeat
If Barcelona lose and Benfica win against Dynamo Kiev,
Barcelona will drop into the Europa League.
Whatever the case, it does appear Xavi’s men will play in
the second tier competition in 2022.
Bayern are one of three clubs with a perfect record in this
season’s competition. And Robert Lewandowski’s perceived Ballon d’Or snub may
add more spice ahead of the game.
For Barca, it seems it will get really gloomy, before the
rays of light begin to appear.
