Benfica vs Barcelona – LIVE

Benfica tonight host Barcelona in a huge Champions League knockout. The two sides played out a thrilling game during the League phase, with Barca emerging victorious in a dramatic 5-4 win over the Lisbon giants in the driving rain in the Portuguese capital.

Now, Hansi Flick’s side return and are looking in a good position to end their decade-long wait for the Champions League trophy. Brilliant in the League phase despite losing to Monaco, they are on the kinder side of the draw this time around and are leading the La Liga title race as things stand. Rarely have they looked as good in recent years.

Benfica will hope to cause something of a shock to reach the quarter-finals but surely must take something from tonight’s game in front of their own supporters if they are to stand any chance of progressing. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog!
