In the 16 th round at the Park Olympique Stadium on Tuesday, Barcelona will begin their first knockout matches when Lyon meet.

The Catalans are looking to continue their good results, leading the group ahead of Inter Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and PSV Eindhoven.

The club's members aspire to the title of the Champions League, headed by Argentine star Lionel Messi, who has not lifted the trophy since 2015 and repeatedly confirmed his desire to win the title for the fifth time.

In the final press release after the win over Girona, he said that the Champions League is a unique and expensive tournament, and it is a good idea to achieve the title.

The two teams met four times as group members and twice as 16.

In the last match between the two teams, Barcelona won the Lyon, in the second leg 5-2, after finishing off with a draw for a goal.

Messi scored in the return match the third goal, in a meeting settled by Barcelona in the first half with three goals.

In that season, the Bulgarians made history, led by Guardiola, by winning the third title in their history, after the philosopher Beb made a terrifying team.


History repeats itself on Tuesday 19 February but with different elements.
