The UEFA Champions League is back again this week for another round of games, with champions league teams pushing for a place in the last 16.
We can see some teams already in the round of 16, even if they lose the remaining two matches from the group stage fixtures.
Group Stage
This week we are looking at the second leg between Barcelona and Bayern Munich after playing their first leg last month in their second round of the Group stage, where Bayern Munich hosted Barcelona at Allianz Arena.
It was a challenging game for Barcelona after losing to the host, but they are set to earn back the three points to increase their initial points, while Bayern Munich would still want to maintain their exciting form in this tournament.
Second Position
The second position will be difficult for Barcelona because the Internazionale team is above them with three points, which means Barcelona has to win the last two matches or win one and draw one.
And Internazionale has to lose at least four points for Barcelona to qualify for the next stage.
Winning this round will go far for the teams that need to qualify for the next stage; Barcelona is one of them.
If they can win the game against Bayern Munich, the last match is inevitable because Viktoria Plzen is the only underdog in their group who has yet to win a single match.
