The FC Barcelona already knows to two of his possible rivals in the round of eighth of final of the UEFA Champions League 2018-19. The culés won by 1-2 to the PSV Eindhoven in the Philips Stadion and, with this, certified the first square of the Group B. They will measure to a second of group that was not Spanish, and that was not the one of his same Group B.
Fulfilling these requirements, and throwing an ojeada to the rest of groups of the Champions League, arrives to the conclusion that already there is two possible candidates to confront to the FC Barcelona in the following round of the competition. One of them is the Rome, precisely the team that 'threw' to the culés the past season in the round of quarter-finals.
It would be beautiful for the FC Barcelona have the opportunity to sign the 'vendetta' in front of the Italians, already in the same round of eighth of final. The 'giallorossi' fell defeated this past Tuesday against the Real Madrid (0-2) in his own stadium, but in spite of the defeat already knew before the party that were classified mathematically.
The FC Barcelona, if it does not confront to the Rome, also could do it against the Schalke 04. The germanos fell defeated this Wednesday in front of the Port wine (3-1), but with the defeat of the Galatasaray in the field of the Lokomotiv of Moscow have been able to access to the round of eighth of final like seconds of group, already without possibility to remain first.
Two a priori affordable rivals for the FC Barcelona, therefore, although the Rome has something more than level that the Schalke 04, as already demotró the past season giving the surprise to plant in the semifinals of the competition, before falling deleted -although giving 'war'- in front of the Liverpool of Jürgen Klopp.
On 17 December, the 'Day D' for the Barça
Until the sixth and last day, the FC Barcelona will not know to the rest of possible rivals in the draw that will carry out next Monday 17 December in Nyon (Switzerland), and that will generate a big expectancy as it is usual year after year. Independently of which was the rival in the following round, the premise is clear: play with confidence, improve backwards and mark a lot of, a lot of goals.
