Champions League: Must-win Games On The Road For Barcelona And Atletico Madrid

Red Star Belgrade: FC Barcelona return to Champions League action on Wednesday night when they go to Serbia to play Red Star Belgrade (Crvena Zvezda). Hansi Flick's side travelled after another convincing win at home to Espanyol on Sunday in another game in which their rivals were unable to deal with their high press and in which their offside trap worked to annul two Espanyol "goals" for offside.

Barca are in excellent form, with 12 goals in their last three games, including five at home to Bayern Munich and four away to Real Madrid, while fit-again Dani Olmo showing he further adds to their attacking options with two goals on Sunday. Flick will bring Jules Kounde back into his side at right back after resting the French defender on Sunday, while Frenkie de Jong or Ferran Lopez also have options of starting in Belgrade.

Barca's defeat to Monaco in their opening group game means they have six points from a possible nine in the Champions League and that means they need a win to move into the top-eight of the 32-team group. Barca are currently 10th in the group and that would put them in a play-off ahead of the round of 16, and also mean they will have more games in an already packed fixture list, reports Xinhua.
