In the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Benfica will face Barcelona on Wednesday, March 5. However, there's disappointing news for the Eagles' fans.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Ángel Di María is likely to miss this showdown. He participated in Tuesday's training session but won't recover in time for Wednesday's match. The Argentine is dealing with muscle issues that will prevent him from playing. Additionally, Gavi's participation is also in doubt due to illness.
The match between Benfica and Barcelona is scheduled for Wednesday, March 5, at the Estádio da Luz. Kick-off is at 21:00 CET.
Notably, Lamine Yamal has become the youngest player in La Liga since the 2006/07 season to create five or more goal-scoring opportunities and complete at least five successful dribbles in a single match.
Reminder: This season has already become the best for Robert Lewandowski as part of Barcelona. His goal against the Basque club marked his 34th in 37 matches, which is the best performance among players in the top five European leagues.
