Preview: Barcelona vs Benfica

Barcelona are set to host Benfica in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League 2024-25 Round of 16 clash. This promises to be an exciting encounter between the two sides. Despite adopting a measured approach in the first leg, the Blaugrana secured a crucial one-goal advantage.

Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona showcased solid defensive discipline, keeping Benfica’s attacking threats at bay. The Portuguese side created several chances but failed to find the back of the net. Meanwhile, Barcelona have been impressive in both LaLiga and the Champions League this season, and playing at home will give them a significant edge.

Benfica controlled possession equally with Barcelona in the first leg but struggled with their finishing. Now, trailing by a goal, they will be under pressure to deliver. While they are determined to fight back, overcoming Barcelona at the Camp Nou will be a tough challenge.
