The man left Bayern Munich, where he was more than a legend, to join Barcelona and repeat the same (or do even more, if possible) with the Catalans. However, a few months later, Robert Lewandowski is facing an excruciating Champions League exit that will be prevented only if something miraculous happens in the next two rounds.Firstly, the Blaugrana ought to win – if possible, by a significant margin – against Lewa’s former side, Bayern Munich, tonight at Camp Nou. At the same time, they’ll hope for a true miracle, that the Czech Republic champion, Viktoria Plzen, grab at least a point (the first for them since the start of the UCL season) at Inter Milan. Lewa and Pedri missed, but Bavarians didn’t: Another defeat for Barca in MunichThat sort of wishful outcome could possibly level Barca and Nerrazzuri in second place, with the goal difference as the main criteria to decide who advances to the next stage in case of an equal number of points.However, if Inter can beat Viktoria Plzen at home, then Barcelona will be able to drop into the Europa League at a maximum.##NAJAVA_MECA_6757247##Still, Speaking ahead of the match, Xavi Hernandez explained to Marca how he was feeling about the situation.”I am positive, and you know me. But we don’t depend on ourselves, that’s the unfortunate bit. When you don’t depend on yourself, you’re not so positive anymore. The situation is uncomfortable but we have to go out and win. It’s true we are not as positive, though, but that is human and logical to be so.”CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: A Camp Nou thriller! Lewa’s brace saves Barcelona from eliminationHe was also asked if he believed in miracles.”More than in miracles, we have a small hope. But when you don’t depend on yourself… The situation is very uncomfortable and there are many statistics that say we will not go through. But the match has to be played. Sometimes the one who deserves it does not win, or there are unforeseen events. Why not?”‘The Champions League is being cruel to us’Overall, he admitted a feeling of frustration on the matter.”In general, I have the feeling that we have had it in our hands and now it is not up to us. So they are our mistakes,” concluded he.CHAMPIONS LEAGUEGroup stage – Round 5TuesdaySalzburg – Chelsea 1-2 (1-1)/Adamu 48 – Kovacic 23, Havertz 64/Sevilla – Copenhagen 3-0 (0-0)/En-Nesyri 61, Isco 88, Montiel 90/Dinamo Zagreb – Milan 0-4 (0-1)/Gabbia 39, Leao 49, Giroud 59, Ljubicic (og) 69/Celtic – Shakhtar 1-0 (1-0)/Giakoumakis 34 – Mudryk 58/RB Leipzig – Real Madrid 3-1 (2-1)/Gvardiol 13, Nkunku 18, Werner 81 – Vinicius 44, Rodrygo 90+4 (p)/Dortmund – Man.City 0-0Benfica – Juventus 4-3 (3-1)/Silva 17, Mario 28(p), Rafa Silva 35, 50 – Kean 22, Milik 77, McKenna 79/PSG – Maccabi Haifa 7-2 (4-1)/Mesi 19, 44, Mbappe 32, 64, Neymar 35, Goldberg 67, Soler 84 – Seck 38, 50/Wednesday19:45: (3.45) Club Brugge (3.40) Porto (2.25)19:45: (1.13) Inter (8.50) Plzen (19.0)22:00: (4.00) Ajax (3.80) Liverpool (1.95)22:00: (1.23) Napoli (6.50) Rangers (12.0)22:00: (1.80) Atl.Madrid (3.60) Leverkusen (4.60)22:00: (2.40) Barcelona (3.60) Bayern (3.00)22:00: (2.50) Eintr.Frankfurt (3.30) Olympique Marseille (3.10)22:00: (1.50) Tottenham (4.50) Sporting (7.25)***odds are subject to change***
