Antwerp vs Barcelona: Live stream, TV channel, kick-off time & where to watch

Barcelona will take on Antwerp in their final group stage game of the Champions League at the Bosuilstadion on Wednesday. The La Liga side are atop Group H and only need to avoid a bad defeat to confirm their progress into the knockout rounds. It shouldn't be too difficult as Antwerp have not registered any points so far in five matches.

Barcelona will need to be wary of complacency. They are heading into this fixture on the back of a 2-4 loss to Girona in the league and will be looking to return to winning ways. Despite their terrible run in the Champions League so far, Antwerp will be hoping for their fourth consecutive win across all competitions, although that will be difficult as they are up against the league leaders.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.
