Welcome to the Evening Standard’s Champions League coverage of Slavia Prague vs Barcelona LIVE tonight.
Barca have collected four points from their opening two Group F games, but it has been anything but plain sailing: the Blaugrana escaped Dortmund with a goalless draw on matchday one, and had Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez to thank for a 2-1 comeback win over Inter Milan at Camp Nou.
Ernesto Valverde’s side have been far from convincing, but a win over Slavia Prague in the Czech capital would stand them in good stead as they bid to reach the last-16.
Inter are bottom of the group with a point but their double-header could blow things wide open, and Barca will need to pick up points here to ensure their last two group games – away to Inter and a home clash with Dortmund – are not must-win affairs.
