Barcelona has seriously changed over the summer. Lionel Messi has left, for objective reasons the Argentine has not been able to find a full replacement. At the same time, the composition of the group allowed the “blue-garnet” to count on the playoffs. If it was almost unrealistic to compete with Bayern, then Ronald Koeman’s team was quite capable of winning the second place in the playoffs from Benfica and Dynamo. In the first match, Barcelona faced a defeat. Bayern at Camp Nou felt at home, scored three goals for the hosts without conceding a single one in return. In the second match against Benfica, which can clearly be called the main competitor of Barcelona in the fight for the playoffs, the Blaugranas failed again. A 0:3 defeat threw them to the last place in the group.
The vice-champion of Spain in the past season lost the title of champion to its fellow countrymen from Atletico. The start of the new championship brought the creamy five victories and the club drew twice, which corresponds to 17 points and the second position. The gap from the first Real Sociedad is only three points, with one game in reserve. In the last two rounds, White drew with Villarreal (0:0) and lost to Espanyol (1:2), which became a sensation of the tour. At the first stage of the Champions League group stage, Carlo Ancelotti’s charges beat Inter (0:1) away, after which they were defeated at home by the Moldovan champion with a score of 1:2. In this duel, the “galacticos” were conceded already in the 25th minute, after which they managed to equalize the score from the penalty spot. But this year Tiraspol played the best and in the 90th minute Till brought three more points to Sheriff (1:2). Hazard, Carvajal, Camavinga, Militao, Mendy, Ceballos, Alaba and Bale, who has a thigh injury, will not be able to enter the field today.
