Yet again in the Champions league, the Catalan side trail after the first leg.
Another first leg match played away from home for Barcelona and another hefty defeat in which they failed to score. A poor defensive display saw the then tournament favourites saw five teams leapfrog them on the Oddschecker grids, as their odds to win the Champions League drifted to 16/1 from 3/1.
Many would have expected Messi and Co to excel after that monumental comeback against PSG in the last round, but it was another Argentinian who took the headlines tonight. Paulo Dybala contributed with two stunning finishes to give the Italian side a 2-0 lead, which they would later make 3-0 through Chiellini.
As we learnt in the round of 16 – you can never write Barcelona off, especially when the return fixture is at the Camp Nou. They are now 24/5 to do the unthinkable and qualify for the semi-finals; so there is plenty of value there for those who believe they can do it again.
