How to watch Barcelona vs Benfica: TV channel and live stream for Champions League today
Barcelona will tonight look to secure safe passage into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Barca host Benfica in the second leg of their last-16 clash holding a slim advantage after Raphinha’s strike sealed a 1-0 win in Lisbon.
Hansi Flick’s side had been reduced to ten men following an early red card shown to Pau Cubarsi. They largely kept the Portuguese giants at bay, though did need to rely on veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for a number of key saves.
With that in mind, Barca will feel confident. They weathered the storm and came out with a crucial victory, so surely have to be considered favourites to progress. Now back in Spain, it would be a surprise not to see them do so.
It will soon be ten years since Barcelona last won this competition. Arguably on the kinder side of the draw this season, excitement is building about a potential victory to add to their list of crowns.
Benfica aren’t to be written off but Barcelona look heavy favourites to reach the quarter-finals. What happens after remains to be seen.
