Champions League Fixtures This Evening: Chelsea v Barcelona & More
Welcome to a fresh evening of electrifying Champions League football. Nine fixtures are planned for this evening, including three English clubs in play. Chelsea face Barça in the key match of the night, while Newcastle travel to Marseille and Manchester City welcome Leverkusen.
League Table
We're at the midway stage of the league phase, so the standings is beginning to form. All six British teams are currently in the upper twelve, however there are only two pts between fifth and 16th place, thus there's a sense of snakes and ladders about the whole thing. It’s all up for grabs.
Tonight’s Fixtures
These are tonight’s games, each starting at 8pm except where noted:
- Ajax 0-1 Benfica (17:45)
- Union SG and Galatasaray level at 0-0 (17:45)
- Juventus face Bodo/Glimt
- Barcelona take on Chelsea
- Villarreal meet Dortmund
- Man City v Leverkusen
- Marseille v Newcastle
- Qarabag play Napoli
- Athletic Bilbao clash with Slavia Prague

Previous Encounters
The only previous meeting between Newcastle and Marseille was the Uefa Cup semifinal of 2003-04, won by an emerging star from Côte d'Ivoire. Manchester City and Bayer Leverkusen have not faced each other previously. Chelsea and Barcelona have a peedie bit of history.
Initial Game Reports
Just one goal in the first half of the two early games. Samuel Dahl's 6th-minute goal has given Jose Mourinho’s Benfica a 1-0 advantage at the Dutch side.
Marseille v Newcastle Preview
Even though The Magpies arrived in the French south fresh from their confidence-boosting two-one home English top-flight victory over Manchester City on Saturday, and having beaten Union Saint-Gilloise, Benfica and Bilbao in the European Cup, their only away win since early April came in the Belgian capital at Union SG.
Not that Eddie Howe was overly keen to talk about the mental side of this away form issue. “The European Cup is different to Premier League games,” said the manager, whose side are 6th in the Champions League standings, with nine points from a possible twelve and automatic qualification to the last 16 nearly secured. “I am not sure if you can draw parallels between them.”
A dedicated live feed is available for Chelsea v Barcelona. Murray, the minute-by-minute version of Maradona is handling for that.
