What It Means — Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen Live
Barcelona began the night in the top-eight hunt and know a win likely secures direct passage to the Round of 16; anything less risks a two-legged playoff tie in February. Copenhagen started the evening in the playoff pack and an away lead at Camp Nou dramatically boosts their prospects of extending their European run. If the scoreline holds, Barça face a nervy second half chasing not just the game but the seeding that shapes their spring.
