In terms of h2h also for now Barcelona are still losing to Benfica and their last meeting in the 21/22 season in the group phase even Barcelona had to lose with a sizable score where 3 goals without reply they got at that time.
So even though for now Barcelona is still one of the clubs that is quite favorite and its performance is on the rise but I think Benfica could be back to surprise for now although surely Barcelona is the probability to win but they cannot underestimate Benfica for now because it could actually backfire for them.
I agree with this because after all, by looking at what is happening now, actually even though Barcelona is still the favorite for now but in the end this is also still a pretty interesting match.
Currently Flick is still trying to restore Barcelona's lost popularity especially for the Champions League competition so it is quite natural for now they still want to give their best after in several seasons Xavi has always failed to lift Barceclona's performance in the Champions League but on the other hand Benfica remains strong.
In addition, for now they also still need to pay attention to a fairly busy schedule because not only the Champions League is the main focus but La Liga and of course the Copa del Rey will also definitely drain their strength and mentality so that there needs to be a strong push if in the end Barcelona wants to be able to secure themselves from their current condition because a little wrong can affect all competitions undertaken in terms of performance.
