On Wednesday, Barcelona visits Benfica for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16. This match will take place at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica starting at 5 PM Argentina time and will be broadcast live on ESPN and Disney+.
The Argentine team, which includes Ángel Di María and Nicolás Otamendi, had to play in the preliminary playoffs against Monaco to reach this stage, as they did not secure direct qualification to the round of 16. On the other hand, Barcelona was one of the best teams in the league stage.
The probable lineups for this match are:
Benfica: Anatoli Trubin; Tomás Araújo, António Silva, Nicolás Otamendi, Álvaro Carreras; Fredrik Aursnes, Leandro Barreiro, Orkun Kökçü; Kerem Aktürkoğlu, Pavlidis, Andreas Schjelderup
FC Barcelona: Wojciech Szczęsny; Jules Koundé, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martín; Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Pedri, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski
The match can be followed in Argentina through ESPN and Disney+, and will also be available on digital platforms such as Flow, Directv Go, and Telecentro Play.
