Champions League: Work To Do For Barca, Atletico To Assure Top-8 Finish In Group
UEFA Champions League: Spanish giants FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in different moments of form as they prepare for vital UEFA Champions League ties on Wednesday night. Both need to win their games improve their position and maintain their chances of qualifying for the knockout stage.
Barcelona, currently third in the 36-team group, has to play Borussia Dortmund and Benfica away from home before entertaining Atalanta, meaning it still has a lot of work to do to assure the top-eight finish that would see it qualify directly for the Round of 16.
Meanwhile, Atletico have an easier calendar ahead of them but need to keep winning to climb from their current 15th place into the top-eight. Facing last season's finalist Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick must be worried about his side's recent form in La Liga, which has seen it lose two and draw two of its last five games, reports Xinhua.
