The end of the phase of groups of the Champions League has not been the best for the FC Barcelona. The defeat in front of the Amberes by 3-2 in Belgium has been a result that the club did not expect, and that besides will bring surely consequences from the economic point of view, by the 3 million euros no ingresados, and also from the sportive point if the team of Xavi Hernández is not able to change the feelings.

Further of these situations, the Barcelona team will be in the bass drum of first of group of the draw of the next Monday 18 December in Nyon (12:00 hours) and has seven possible rivals, remaining only out of consideration the Port wine when having been already rival of group of the culés. In front of this, 'Sport' exposes that the big dates launch to the RB Leipzig of the Bundesliga like the team with more possibilities to be the team that confront the Barça in the eighth of final.

The Barça can return to Germany for the eighth

Like this, the group germano could be at the top of the ones of Xavi in February for the party of gone, and around the middle of March for the turn, standing out that the turn always will play with the Barça as local.

Besides, a bit further back of the Leipzig, but surpassing the others four options, appear FC Copenhagen and Paris Saint-Germain, both with a percentage that is alredor of 13,6%, a very inferior number to the 19.9 of the Leipzig. However, the Germans could result matched quickly with another first club of group, by what Danish and Frenchmen would seem the most likely options.

Rivals very complicated for the Barça, in elder or lower measure

A duel with Mbappé and Dembélé surely would be the most complicated for the Barça in eighth, although the Copenhagen himself that knew to compete in front of Bayern, Manchester United and Galatasaray, by what no can him subestimar. Already in downward order find PSV, Lazio, Naples and Inter of Milan, all very complicated rivals in his field and that yes that represent also a risk of no advance for the Catalan group.
