Barcelona are on the cusp of making history in the Champions League, and they’ll be looking to take a giant leap towards achieving that feat when they face Atalanta on Wednesday night. The Catalan giants are currently second in the overall standings, with six wins from seven matches, and they’re now setting their sights on overtaking Liverpool at the top of the table.
According to reports, Barcelona are eager to finish the group stage on a high note by securing top spot, and they’ll be relying on Liverpool to slip up against PSV Eindhoven. The Reds have been flawless in the competition so far, winning all seven of their matches, but Barcelona will be hoping that they can drop points against the Dutch outfit.
While the chances of Liverpool losing to PSV are slim, Barcelona will be buoyed by the fact that the Dutch side’s manager, Arne Slot, has made some surprising team selections for the match. Slot has left out nine of his regular starters, seemingly prioritizing the club’s domestic campaign over the Champions League.
Barcelona, on the other hand, will be going all out to win against Atalanta, knowing that a victory could potentially see them leapfrog Liverpool at the top of the table. The Catalan giants have a formidable goal difference, which could prove crucial in the event of a tiebreaker.
With the stakes high and the tension palpable, Barcelona’s match against Atalanta promises to be an thrilling encounter. Will the Catalan giants be able to pull off a stunning upset and claim top spot in the Champions League, or will Liverpool’s dominance continue unabated? Only time will tell.
