In their last away game, Barcelona will visit Panathinaikos, hoping to achieve a victory.
So far Barcelona tied both of their visits in Russia and Denmark, both ending with the score 1:1.
After beating Almeria this weekend with 0:8, can the Catalans do the same in Greece? Panathinaikos are currently last with only 2 points in 4 games, and must win today to remain with chances to qualify.
With their only shot on Camp Nou, the Greeks scored, the question is can they do the same in this game? Barcelona’s ambitions are now higher than they were in Matchday 1 when everything looked quite easy. The Spanish team is only a point ahead of the second team, Copenhagen, and has to win these last 2 games, if they want to top this group, and not care about the outcome of the other match in this group.

On Matchday 1 Barcelona had around 86% ball possession against Panathinaikos, leagues highest so far. Barcelona are also incredibly accurate in their passes, with around 90% accuracy.
Lionel Messi, who has scored already 5 goals, has made also 14 shots on target, more than anyone else in the league this season. David Villa has scored 2 goals already in the Champions league, and together with Messi they are every defense’s nightmare. Barcelona has become this machine for goals, at least in La Liga, scoring 24 goals in the last 5 games of this season.
I believe that Panathinaikos will try their best in this game, but they are just not a match for Barcelona. The Spanish teams should take this game seriously, if they want to record their first away victory in the league. In fact I think they will do it in “style” scoring at least 2, here.
