Barcelona vs Benfica Preview

Despite being a man down from the 22nd minute of the first half, Barcelona were able to overcome Benfica by a single goal scored by Raphinha. The Blaugrana are in top form, having gone unbeaten in 17 games and winning 14 of them in all competitions. Playing at home, Barcelona have not tasted defeat since December 21, when they lost to Atletico Madrid.

It will be a difficult task for Benfica in Barcelona, although they managed a goalless draw the last time they played here in 2021. But that won’t be enough this time, as they need a two-goal win to go through, which the Catalans haven’t suffered in a competitive game for a very long time. Benfica are on a four-match winning streak on the road, including a 2-0 away win over Juventus.

Benfica has suffered two losses this season against the Spanish team, demonstrating a lack of resilience against a formidable Barcelona squad.
