Overview
- Barcelona sit 15th in the Champions League league phase with two games left and need victories to keep a direct top‑eight berth in play, with a defeat set to force an extra playoff round.
- Slavia have taken three points from six matches, are yet to win in the league phase, and have scored only two goals, with their last competitive game on December 13.
- Barcelona are without Lamine Yamal through suspension and miss injured Gavi and Andreas Christensen, while Ferran Torres is sidelined for roughly two weeks with a muscular problem.
- Reports differ on Raphinha’s status for Prague, with one outlet saying he requires assessment after a thigh issue and another declaring him fit to return.
- With Torres out, Robert Lewandowski is expected to have a bigger role up front, and UK coverage lists TNT Sports with streaming on discovery+ for Wednesday’s match.
