Barcelona will finish their group stage participation in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, as the Blaugrana welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach to Camp Nou and basically go through the formality of playing.

On paper, this game doesn't matter. All four positions on the group have been decided, Barça will top the standings regardless of any result, and there's very little reason to be excited or interested in this one. But in reality, this is a big game. One win in five (with four draws) and a tough El Clásico result have put the Catalan giants in a position of doubt: is this really the best team in the world? Is this really the strongest squad in Europe? Is Luis Enrique really a good coach?

Truth be told, it is hard to give positive questions to any of those questions. This has been a season where the level of performances has been disappointing at best, some key players from previous seasons are below their usual standards, and Luis Enrique just seems unable to find a real tactical solution other than "big stars, make things happen, please!", and that's a problem.

The second half of El Clásico was a refreshing sign: Barça played well, with and without the ball, and if it wasn't for Sergio Ramos, we would be very encouraged by what we saw at the weekend. That is something to build upon, and three points against Gladbach combined with a strong performance can bring back some confidence and begin to provide some positive answers to the giant cloud of doubt over Camp Nou.

Borussia Monchengladbach and Barcelona meet in the Champions League 2016-17 group stage on Wednesday.
Barcelona finished its first Champions League tilt with a dominant 7-0 win over Celtic. The game featured three goals from Lionel Messi, one goal and five assists from Neymar and another two goals from Luis Suarez. Simply put, this team was clicking on all cylinders and looked like the early favorites to win the entire tournament.
The German contingent will be the host in this match, but the team knows that it needs a tighter performance than its first in the UCL. After experiencing a rain delay in England, the team was forced to play on Wednesday instead of Tuesday and wound up losing 4-0 against England's best team.

FC Barcelona will host Borussia Moenchengladbach in the last group game of 2016-17 Champions League on Tuesday, 06 December 2016. It is a dead rubber with group C already decided where Barcelona qualify as group winners while Manchester City confirm second place. Gladbach has already dropped to Europa League so we can expect Luis Enrique putting together a very under strength side on tueday night.

FC Barcelona absolute hammered Celtic on the opening matchday winning the game 7-0 at Camp Nou thanks to incredible performance by Lionel Messi who grabbed hattrick while Luis Suarez scored a brace. Now they will be without Messi but still hot favourite to win all three points tonight. Gladbach on the other hand are struggling in the league and they were pretty much outplayed by Manchester City on the opening matchday conceded 4 goals at Etihad Stadium. This group looks pretty straight forward with City and Barcelona favourite to get through while Gladbach and Celtic will fight it out for third place unless one of these two put together historic run of results in remaining group fixtures.

Team News & Lineups: Gladbach has struggled in away matches but at home they have been absolute class winning 11 of their recent games however they will be without Schubert while Tobias Strobl is a major doubt for Barcelona clash. Barca on the other hand will be without Lionel Messi as expected Samuel Umtiti is also missing through injury. Enrique is likely to start with Suarez and Neymar upfront Rafinha, Busquets, Iniesta and Rakitic to start in dynamic midfield roles. this is how I expect both teams to lineup on Wednesday night.
