Barcelona resume their Champions League campaign on Tuesday evening, as they welcome Greek giants Olympiacos to Montjuic.
It’s been a rather chaotic start to the new season for the La Liga champions, who have played at two different homes and have seen their aggressive, all-or-nothing principles compromised more regularly by astute opponents.
As a result, Hansi Flick’s side trail Real Madrid at the top of La Liga head into El Cláisico this weekend. First, they must mitigate Olympiacos’s challenge and return to winning ways in the league phase. Paris Saint-Germain came from behind to down Barça 2–1 in Gameweek 2.
Olympiacos boss José Luis Mendilibar is preparing for his 26th game against the Catalan side, having previously managed Sevilla, Real Valladolid, Osasuna, Levante, Eibar and Alavés. He’s won just one of the 25 meetings.
The visitors have earned just a point from their opening two league games, although they gave a pretty good account of themselves against Arsenal last time out.
Here’s guide to the clash.
