Sergio Aguero, Martin Braithwaite, Pedri, Ousmane Dembele and Ansu Fati are all out of contention for Barcelona. Add to that, Nico Gonzalez, Oscar Mingueza and Sergio Busquets are doubtful after their knocks in the Espanyol game.

Good news, however, comes in the form of Sergino Dest and Ronald Araujo showing good signs in training.

Benfica have a few concerns too, with Lucas Verissimo nursing a knee injury, Joao Mario doubtful with a back problem and Nemanja Radonjic also among those missing from the final team training before leaving for Spain.

Key Stats:

• Barcelona have lost just one of their five UEFA Champions League matches against Benfica (W2 D2), though it came in the reverse meeting this season, losing 3-0 at Estádio da Luz.
  
• Benfica have never won away at Barcelona in the European Cup/Champions League in three attempts (D1 L2), with this their first visit to the Camp Nou since December 2012 for a goalless draw.
  
• This will be Xavi’s first UEFA Champions League game as Barcelona manager, becoming the fifth individual to both play for and manage the team in the competition, after Pep Guardiola, Luis Enrique, Ronald Koeman and Sergi Barjuán. Xavi made 151 appearances for Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League; the most by a player for a single team in the history of the competition.
  
• Benfica striker Darwin Núñez has scored three goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, averaging a goal every 75 minutes. He netted a brace against Barcelona in their last game, with only Faustino Asprilla and Andriy Shevchenko ever netting three against them in a single group stage, both doing so in 1997-98, and both with hat-tricks.
