Barcelona

By winning all of their matches in Champions League so far, Barcelona sits at the top of their group with half of the games out of the way and they are in great position to secure their place in the next round. The team is also doing well in La Liga, although they did suffer a loss to their fierce rivals Real Madrid recently. Meanwhile, Sergi Roberto remains out with an injury, while Frenkie de Jong is doubtful.

Player to watch: Robert Lewandowski

After missing the first duel with Shakhtar through injury, Lewandowski is likely going to take his usual spot at the front of the line for Barcelona tonight and after only scoring once so far in Champions League, we can expect him to be fired up for the game.

With that in mind, we also expect to see a good showing from the experienced forward, which is why Robert Lewandowski is our player to watch in this game.
