Superstar Messi’s team have not lost in 33 UCL matches at home – an undefeated run that began in September 2013 and includes 30 wins and three draws.

It was 2000-2001 when they last failed to qualify from the group stage and they have reached the round of 16 or better for the last 15 seasons.

The Spanish champions are determined to make amends this season following their shock defeat by last season’s eventual winners Liverpool in the semifinal.

After winning 3-0 at home, Barcelona suffered a shock 4-0 defeat at Anfield.

They had already won the La Liga title but the defeat in England had a knock-on effect as they subsequently suffered a surprise defeat by Valencia in the final of Spain’s Copa Del Rey and missed out on a domestic double.

Slavia won a league and cup double in the Czech Republic last season.

Advance to Group Via Playoffs

They reached this UCL group stage via the playoff round – winning 1-0 at home and away against CFR Cluj of Romania.

The Prague team were beaten in the quarterfinals of last season’s Europa League by eventual winners Chelsea. They lost 1-0 at home and 4-3 in London.
