Barcelona are in Brugge this evening to face Club Brugge in game four of their Champions League campaign. The La Liga giants, while heavy favourites for the match, are not going to take their Belgian opposition lightly. Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick said as much, while star striker Robert Lewandowski was also full of praise for Club Brugge.
Flick said that Barcelona will put out their strongest team to try and get maximum points from the game. As reported by HLN, Flick said โTheyโre a good team, especially at home with that atmosphere. They press well, love the ball, and like to move. I enjoy watching Club playโ.
Club Brugge will be under no illusions as to how difficult their task will be this evening. However, facing Barcelona at home is why players and fans want to qualify for the competition. Barcelona have won two of their three games so far, with their only defeat having come at the hands of defending champions PSG. Last time out, Barcelona beat Olympiacos 6-1 at home, before a 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Classico. They got back on track with a 3-1 win over Elche in La Liga last weekend and currently sit second in the table.
Club Brugge have won one and lost two so far in the competition. They have their two toughest games back to back, with a 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich last time out. They are in good form domestically though, with six wins in a row in all Belgian competitions. Last weekend they beat bottom of the table Dender 2-1 at home.
