Barcelona, the new league leaders, begin their Champions League campaign with a difficult visit to Monaco. The French team already demonstrated their power in the past, defeating Barcelona under Juan Gamper. Flick, the Catalan team’s coach, is managing to get his players to perform at a high level, as was demonstrated in the Catalan derby against Girona, which they won in a convincing manner (1-4). The coach will not be able to count on Dani Olmo for this match, who was injured and will be out for two to three weeks. At 17 years old, Lamine Yamal will be one of Barcelona’s best players in France.
Monaco is a team with a long tradition in France and is currently third in the league. It is a team with a good defensive system, as demonstrated by the fact that it has only conceded one goal in the four games it has played.
