Barcelona won 1-0 in Lisbon in the first leg, despite Pau Cubarsi being sent off in the first half. Coach Hansi Flick's students were forced to switch to playing deep defense under the pressure of Benfica.
The effort was rewarded when Raphinha had a beautiful long-range shot to bring Barca a fragile advantage. They are better prepared than their opponents when they do not have to play at the weekend due to the postponement of the match against Osasuna. The players' physical strength is guaranteed and they will take the field in a state of full strength.
After a 16-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, Barca is performing steadily. On the other side, Benfica just defeated Nacional with a score of 3-0 in Primeira Liga. Coach Bruno Lage's team is still chasing Sporting CP at the top of the table, 3 points behind but has played 1 match less.
Despite their good results this season, the difference in quality with their opponents will pose a big challenge for the Portuguese representative.
