After getting off to a winning start against city rivals Espanyol, Barcelona stumbled midweek against Benfica in the Champions League, the match ended 0-0, with Barcelona failing to find the back of the net. Barcelona’s draw puts them in a very precarious situation and the Catalans could go out of the Champions League if they fail to beat Bayern Munich on Matchday 6.
