The Catalan giants will look to baptize their revamped squad with a Champions League win on Matchday 1, but nothing is given in this tournament.
Tonight's match is the focus and we expect it to be an intense affair. Where the Catalans are concerned, they will definitely be hoping that his last appearance isn't a sign of things to come. After some classy buildup the ball is laid off to left side and the resulting cross goes wanting. The Czech side will need to work on not giving away the ball if they hope to avoid a mauling. Plzen will breathe a sigh of relief and more as they break through Sikora, but in the end what would have been a glorious counter attack is halted by an 'offside' call. Dembele is most definitely the protagonist tonight and shows it by tracking back to win the ball after a misplaced past. After turning to VAR, Plzen's forward Mosquera inadvertently elbowed Christensen in the face and in the end is actually given a yellow card. Sikora is proving to be a worthy opponent for Barca's defense, but in the end he's crowded out and BArca break through Dembele. The Frenchman tackled back for his own error and then provided a cross to the back post for the waiting Lewandowski to head home. Round and round the Catalans go until Jordi Alba tries a cross from the left side. After tidy play by Sergio Roberto, Lewandowski is sought out and the former Munich man obliges with a low curling shot from outside the area to the right side of goal. Plzen play long, but too long and Ter Stegen will play to the right where Kessie awaits.

He nudges off, Lewandowski has a look, opens his body, and plants a low, light curler into the far side-netting. Mosquera caught Christensen with a forearm to the face as he spun! Barcelona 2-0 Viktoria Plzen (Lewandowski) That's six goals in five games for the top man, and what a finish it is. Plzen have been dangerous on the counter, and Chory tries a shot from outside the box that's deflected out to the left, where Jemelka arrives - on the sprint as Barca dither. He dinks into the middle, Sykora heads home, and do we got ourselves a ball-game?! He chases Mosquera, dallying near the touchline, dives into a challenge from behind, wins the ball, turns, arcs the most luscious cross you've ever seen to the back post, and Lewandowski dives to nod home an equaliser.

Signed from Juventus in 2020, the midfielder departs Barcelona after making just 30 appearances, none of which came in the current campaign. As confirmed in their statement, Pjanic joins Sharjah FC on a free transfer after Barcelona terminated his contract which had still two years left on it.

The Czech Republic champions qualified for the group stage after three qualifying rounds and visit the Spotify Camp Nou after beating Slovan Liberec 1-0 on matchday seven of the Czech League.

Pjanic Arrived to the FC Barcelona like an alternative that could adjust to the style of game culé and contribute a rise of level regarding vision of game ...
That decision finished doing understand to the footballer that again would be the last option of a trainer of the Barça, by what has finished deciding abandon of definite way the City Condal with only 30 parties in his register, without goals neither assistances. The Dutch had always to Pjanic like his last option in the half of the field and in the second half of that campaign gave him a participation almost testimonial, in addition to never plant it like pivote, his best position. The bosnio arrived in the summer of 2020 in an operation that seeing now as it has been his stage of Barcelona, went a clear sample of the bad that would leave everything in the future.
The FC Barcelona aspires to all this season and will try to add the maximum possible titles. But, what say the houses of bets on the campaign of the Barça?
The Real Madrid is the current champion, but remains far of the favourites, to the equal that the big of Germany, the Bayern. The signing of Lewandosky has gone back to situate to the Barça in the highest of the individual prognoses. The exits of important players in the market penalise to the Seville, that falls to the fifth level of favouritism with a very far proportion. The quota of the Athletic situates in 17.00 and surprises the situation of the Villarreal, that scale until the fourth position with a value of 19.00. His triumph in the past edition of LaLiga plants to the Real Madrid like the favourite in the skilled portals of prognoses, with a quota that round the 1.80 points. The FC Barcelona has initiated a season very ilusionante in which, of the hand of Xavi Hernández in the bench, will litigate for winning League and Glass, and position between the best clubs of Europe after a year to forget.
Things get off to the most convincing of starts as the Czechs are outclassed at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.
