What could possibly be better than Champions League Wednesday? After two months of waiting, the world's best club tournament is back, and Europe's sixteen best teams in 2016 have already started to face off in search of the coveted trophy. Wednesday features a historic encounter between Roma and Real Madrid, along with the very interesting clash between Gent and Wolfsburg.
What could possibly be more important than those two games? Well... how about some Barcelona action?
That's correct: the Blaugrana will enter the pitch on Champions League Wednesday to play a La Liga match. This is a very rare and strange circumstance, and in terms of scheduling, not ideal. But because of the trip to Japan for the Club World Cup last December, the Catalans had to postpone the league clash against Sporting Gijón for this very Wednesday.
This game-in-hand does not look like a big match in the surface, but it actually is. Not only does Gijón offer a difficult challenge (they're unbeaten in the last four fixtures, picking up eight of a possible 12 league points), winning away from home would be giant for the Catalans. After finally getting in level with second-place Atlético Madrid and third-place Real in terms of matches played, the Blaugrana would open up a six- and seven-point gap at the top of the table, respectively, which in La Liga basically means winning the title.
Plus, it's another opportunity to watch the magical play of the 'MSN' trio. Don't worry, after this game is over you can watch the full Champions League match coming later. Just don't miss this one, please. It's Barça playing!
