It seems almost unthinkable, but Barcelona's defence of the Champions League crown they won last season could be over this week if results go against them.
However, they are unlikely to surrender their title at Bulgarian lightweights Levski Sofia, even without two key long-term attacking absentees in Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi.
The game is simply a must-win for Barca and, even with key personnel absent, they are likely to be far too strong for the Bulgarians.
Levski have had the misfortune to have been drawn into the toughest group and it is little surprise that they have conceded 13 goals from their four matches to date
Barca can ill-afford to take things easy in this game, so the 6-5 available with Coral for Barcelona -2 on the Handicap looks a good punt. Barca would need a three-goal winning margin to secure a winning bet, but with Levski having little to play for besides pride, that should be well within their capabilities.
