Barcelona will be aiming to get their Champions League campaign off to a positive start as they host Viktoria Plzen in their opening Group C fixture. The Catalans are coming off a string of impressive results in La Liga and should be too strong for the Czech side.
Barcelona appear to have put their summer off-field problems behind them and are unbeaten this season. They head into Wednesdayβs clash off the back of three straight wins.
The Catalans earned a 3-0 victory at Sevilla in La Liga last Saturday. Raphinha opened the scoring early in the contest while Robert Lewandowski and Eric Garcia added further goals to seal a comfortable win.
It is not just that Barcelona are winning, it is the manner of their victories that will be pleasing to manager Xavi as they have scored no less than three goals in each of their last three matches. The new players also appear to have settled quickly, particularly Lewandowski, who has five goals already this season.
