Why Catalan giant seek revenge over Portuguese

Seeking to assure themselves of a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, Barcelona welcome Benfica to Camp Nou on Tuesday evening. The Catalan powerhouse will hope that lightning does not strike twice against Jorge Jesus's side, who sunk Barca 3-0 when the sides met earlier in Group E.

As Bayern Munich ride off into the sunset, Barcelona are performing a slow crawl to the finish line by comparison, but all three points in front of their own fans will guarantee them their rightful place in the knockout stages.

Xavi's reign as Blaugrana head coach officially kicked off with Sunday's visit of Espanyol in the Barcelona derby, during which a Memphis Depay penalty in the 48th minute saw the Catalans get off to the perfect start in La Liga under their legendary midfield maestro.
