The UCL match between Barcelona and Benfica will take place tomorrow. Of course I personally support the Barcelona team in this match and willing to bet on their behalf. But before placing a bet, we need to do some analysis, Barcelona is ahead there meaning their performance is going well. It may be true that Benfica in the UEFA Champions League would not be an easy opponent for Barcelona, we saw that they were number two on the points table in their domestic league.
In the UEFA Champions League match between these two teams, that is, the match between the Barcelona and Benfica football teams, I am the most eager to watch the game of Di Maria.
Benfica and Barcelona also met in the previous stage, namely the preliminary round. And in that match many goals were scored. There were 9 goals scored. Both teams played equally well. It's just that in this match Benfica managed to take the lead first with the first goal in the 2nd minute, the second goal in the 22nd minute and the third goal in the 30th minute which made Benfica ahead in the first half with a score of 3-1 at that time. Although in the end Barcelona won with a score of 4-5 because they managed to turn things around in the second half. But in that match Barcelona managed to score 2 goals due to penalty kick opportunities. And the last goal was actually like luck because it happened in the 90+6 minute, and it was an extraordinary goal from Rapinha. But I call it luck because if there wasn't that much extra time then Barcelona wouldn't have had the chance to win. and will only produce a draw.
And now the two will meet again in the round of 16. And it is clear that this will still be a fierce match. But I expect Barcelona to win this match. because I think it's time for Barcelona to regain glory in the UCL after so long they have always failed to go further there.
