体坛英语资讯：Barcelona aim to assure Champions League progress

发布时间：2016-10-13 编辑：查字典英语网小编

FC Barcelona aim to do what rivals Real Madrid were unable to do a week ago when the reigning European Champions entertain Stuttgart in the second leg of their Champions League tie on Wednesday night.

Barcelona go into the game in a better position that Real Madrid did before losing to Lyon. Pep Guardiola's side drew the first leg of their tie 1-1 in Germany three weeks ago and that away goal could make all the difference.

A 0-0 draw will be enough to see Barca into the last eight, but it is unlikely that Guardiola's outfit will set out to defend that slender advantage.

Stuttgart showed in the first leg that they are a strong side capable of raising the pace of the game and in the first half three weeks ago Barca struggled with their rivals pace and aggression.

Zlatan Ibrahimovich will be back in the Barcelona starting 11 after missing Sunday's 3-0 win against Valencia through suspension.

The Swede will partner Leo Messi and possibly Thierry Henry in attack. Messi is once again the hero of the Camp Nou following his hat-trick against Valencia.
