FC Barcelona vs Benfica - LIVE!
Xavi takes charge of his Champions League match as Barcelona manager against Benfica at the Nou Camp, and there is no time to waste as he looks to turn the club’s fortunes around.
The Spanish side are already six points behind Bayern Munich in Group E, but it is the battle for second place that will be their focus.
Barcelona currently occupy that spot, but they are only two points ahead of Benfica and so cannot afford any slip-ups tonight.
They were well-beaten in the reverse fixture, losing 3-0 in Portugal and having Eric Garcia sent off late on to round off a miserable night.
Xavi secured a win over the weekend against Espanyol, in his first match in charge of the club, and he will be hoping to provide another positive result and performance for the home fans against Benfica.
