Barcelona’s chances of progressing to the Champions League quarterfinals hang in the balance after the Round of 16 draw paired them with resilient Benfica. Former Barcelona player and coordinator Bojan Krkic has issued a warning, urging the team to proceed with caution despite their recent good form.
Bojan drew parallels between this tie and their previous encounter at Estadio da Luz, which Barcelona won 5-4 in stoppage time. However, he noted that the first half of the game was challenging for the Blaugrana.
“Their journey is well-deserved,” Bojan said. “We have experience with them and know they’re a tough opponent.” He emphasized that there’s no room for error in this Champions League tie, suggesting that Barcelona must perform exceptionally to secure progression.
Bojan expressed optimism about Barcelona’s season so far under Hansi Flick. However, he stressed the importance of maintaining consistency as the team approaches the business end of the season. With Benfica expected to push them hard, Bojan urged his teammates to believe in themselves and their abilities to navigate this crucial tie.
