Barcelona and Antwerp face each other this Tuesday, 19th, in the debut of the group stage of the Champions League, with the hosts confident of getting back on track
Barcelona x Antwerp face each other this Tuesday, 19th, at 4pm (Brasília time), in a game valid for the first round of the Champions League group stage. Fueled after the defeat in the Spanish Championship at the weekend, the Catalans face a tough clash against the current Belgian champion.
Despite preaching respect for Antwerp, Barça knows that they are overwhelming favorites, and need the three points if they intend to advance to the next stage. The club has not qualified for the round of 16 of the competition for two seasons, having been outside the top two positions on both occasions.
Thus, the expectation is that the home team will propose the game and seek to keep the ball to pierce the opposing defense. The match will be broadcast on TNT Sports (closed channel) and HBO Max (streaming), in addition to also featuring O Athletisticfollowing and sharing all the best that happens.
