This is a devastating blow for the Catalans as they will now face a more dangerous threat in the first knockout stage.

After looking promising in the Champions League under Ronald Koeman after winning their first 5 matches in the group stages, the current squad reverted back to their struggling form after looking lifeless against Juventus at Camp Nou.

Koeman’s side are struggling in La Liga, currently sitting 9th on the league table. Having Gerard Pique, Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele, and many more, out injured, Koeman is struggling to break the opposition’s defensive lineup.

Lionel Messi is having the worst season of his career in terms of goals scored, and without the Argentine scoring, no other player is able to help the team get on the scoreboard. Antoine Griezmann, Martin Braithwaite, and Dembele have only shown glimpses of goalscoring capabilities but lack consistency.

Unfortunately for the Catalans, things will only get tougher as they will be facing tough competition in the Round-of-16, with Bayern Munich being named the most likely opposition.

Let’s look at the teams that the Spanish giants might face in the next round from most to least likely.
