Barcelona are on the brink of leaving the Uefa Champions League for the Uefa Europa League if they fail to beat Bayern Munich and Benfica wins Dynamo Kiev in the final group stage match of the competition.
The odds are heavily stacked against the Catalans as they are going into the match at the back of a 1-0 home defeat to La Liga's Uefa Champions League spots contender this season, Real Betis.Barcelona are currently experiencing one of the worst days as a club. Financially, physically, mentally and emotionally they appear down. Even the return of legend Xavi Hernandes this time as coach, although still early to judge, appears not enough to solve their issues.
The club would be losing a whopping 20 million Euros benefits if they fail to qualify for the knockout stages. Add this to the current financial predicament facing the club, you can't help but feel pity for them.
As things stand, Barcelona are heavily relying on Dynamo Kyiev to upset Benfica than they are relying on their strength and capability to beat Bayern Munich. So help them God.
