Player(s) to watch:
- Ferran Torres is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Barcelona. He is coming in after scoring a sensational hat-trick against Real Betis in LaLiga. The 25-year-old will now be looking to continue his goal-scoring run. He will look to come up with a top performance so that he can help Barca to secure three points in the UCL.
- Ritsu Doan will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Spanish giants in their upcoming UEFA Champions League match. He has been performing decently in the Bundesliga for his side. However, he is yet to score a goal in the European competition this season.
