Must-win game The UEFA Champions League takes on a new form this season, with the first stages of the competition totally overhauled from prior editions. Unlike typical group stages, each team will play eight games against different opponents, four at home and four away. Barcelona’s opponents include some European giants such as Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Atalanta. Their setback against Monaco on Matchday 1 has left the management quite concerned.

The Catalans finished second best on the night, thanks to an unfortunate red card early in the game. After dropping three points, the squad must return to winning ways tomorrow night, especially with the upcoming schedule.
