FC Barcelona can all but end Slavia Prague’s hopes of advancing to the UEFA Champions League knockout stages if they defeat their Group F foes at the Camp Nou on Tuesday.
The Blaugrana held on to beat Slavia 2-1 when these teams met in the Czech Republic on Matchday 3, but the stakes are higher entering the second half of the group stage.
Defeat would leave Jindrich Trpisovsky’s side six points outside the top two in Group F provided one of Borussia Dortmund or Inter Milan emerge as victors in their clash at the Westfalenstadion in Germany.
Barca hold a three-point lead at the summit and will hope to maintain (or possibly) extend that cushion on Matchday 4, while Slavia’s fleeting hopes of a round-of-16 spot face a critical juncture.
Ernesto Valverde’s men suffered a 3-1 embarrassment at Levante on Saturday when their seven-match win streak came to an end.
