Barcelona
host
Ferencvaros
of Hungary at the beginning of the road in the 2020-21 Champions League, with
Lionel Messi
at the center of a team that finds neither form nor performance.
And with a surprise in the formation:
Antoine Griezmann
starts on the substitute bench.
The culé team seeks to pay off the debt that it has dragged from the thunderous elimination in the quarterfinals of the last edition of the tournament with the 8-2 that Bayern Munich gave it.
In a Camp Nou stadium still without an audience due to the existing restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic, the match corresponding to group G is played.
And Barcelona put first against one of the least exalted participants a priori of the 32 who play the group stage of the Champions League and the theoretically weakest team in the group, which also includes Juventus and Dinamo Kiev.
Ferencvaros are the only team that came from the first round
: the Hungarians eliminated Djurgardens from Sweden, Celtic from Scotland, Dinamo Zagreb from Croatia and Molde from Norway.
But the great rival of Barcelona at the moment is its own instability
.
It comes from losing a game against Getafe that not long ago was a simple resolution for the Catalans, who in this version of Ronald Koeman are far from measuring up.
