The FC Barcelona and the Benfica will star an authentic 'final' in the fifth date of the phase of groups of the League of Champions. The Barcelona, now with Xavi Hernández in the bench, will look for the three points that allow them seal his classification without depending on a victory in front of the Bayern of Munich in German floor.
Nevertheless, both teams arrive with players apercibidos. In the case of the culés, Gavi received a caution in the last crash in front of the Dynamo of Kiev, by what see a new yellow card would prevent him travel to the Allianz in case that the classification have to define in the last day.
By his part, the Benfica arrives with three players 'dyed of yellow' after the presentation in front of the Bayern. It treats of Nicolás Otamendi, Rafa Silva and Julian Weigl. A new cardboard in the Camp Nou would prevent them go in in the announcement for the closing of the phase of groups in front of the Dynamo.
The accounts of the Barça and the Benfica
Although it treats of the penultimate day, practically there is not morning for any of the two teams, that arrive with the obligation to win. A victory of the Barça (that it adds six units) would consolidate to the ones of Xavi with 9 points in the second place, inalcanzable for the Benfica, that would aspire to a maximum of 7 in case to win to the Dynamo in the last date.
A tie would leave to the Barcelona in the second place with 7 points and to the lisboetas with 5, by what a Portuguese victory in front of the Ukrainians combined with a defeat of the Barcelona in Munich would leave all depending on the difference of goals, today equalised to -4. A victory of the Benfica would force to the Barça to win in Germany and to pray by a trip of the lusos.
