Good evening everybody and welcome to another MARCA in English live blog, this time taking you through the Champions League clash between Monaco and Barcelona from the Stade Louis II.
Barcelona enters the Champions League in fine form under new manager Hansi Flick, looking to extend their impressive start to the 2024/25 season. Flick’s Barcelona side has been dominant in LaLiga, racking up 17 goals in just five games, with Robert Lewandowski leading the scoring charge.
Monaco, meanwhile, hasalso had a solid start to the Ligue 1 season, showcasing a strong defense. However, the encounter against Barcelona will test how far they’ve come under manager Adi Hutter. Monaco‘s defense has been reliable, but they haven’t faced an attack as potent as Barcelona’s this season.
Monaco‘s home form in the Champions League raises concerns. They’ve lost seven consecutive home games in the competition, a trend they need to reverse if they hope to progress. Despite this, Monaco can draw confidence from its overall record against Spanish teams, winning seven of its last nine encounters.
For Barcelona, this season’s Champions League campaign is about redemption. After disappointing group stage exits in 2021 and 2022, Barcelona is hungry to return to the competition’s elite ranks.
