(Dan Tri) – Regaining form, Barcelona restarts its Champions League round 1/8 campaign with a trip to Lyon’s Olympique Lyonnais Stadium (3 a.m. February 20).

Last year, Barcelona was considered the number 1 candidate to win the Champions League, but they stopped abruptly at the hands of AS Roma in the semi-finals.

Barcelona is on the path to conquering the great treble, as they are leading La Liga with 7 points more than second-place team Atletico, and have also reached the semi-finals of the King’s Cup.

Messi is still Barcelona’s number 1 hope in France tonight

At this time, the Champions League is Los Blaurgana’s top priority and is also the title they have been eagerly waiting for since 2015 until now.

Barcelona ended a four-match draw streak with a 1-0 win over Valladolid last weekend.

Compared to other classic matches such as Bayern-Liverpool or MU-PSG, facing Lyon is considered easy for Barcelona.

Lyon has passed the stage of dominating France, when they were much weaker than PSG.

After 10 years, Barcelona and Lyon faced off again in the Champions League knockout match.

Lyon is a truly formidable team when playing at home

This is the first time in the last 7 years that Lyon has appeared in the knockout round of the Champions League.

However, in this year’s group stage, Lyon shocked everyone with a 2-1 victory over Man City.

Lyon is facing certain losses when captain Nabil Fekir is absent due to suspension, while Tanguy Ndombele and Jason Denayer have just recovered from injuries.

Lyon’s most notable player is Depay, who is reviving when he returns to play in France.

Barcelona’s biggest hope is definitely still Messi, in addition, both Luis Suarez and Dembele always score at important moments.
