Barcelona: Antoine Griezmann scores against Real Betis
Barcelona will face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League tonight with the burden of expectancy weighing on them.
This is now their time. Manager Ernesto Valverde has survived European horror shows against Roma and Liverpool in the last two years and knows lifting the biggest prize of all will be required for him to stay in the job for longer.
While Barcelona are yet to really get going this season, enduring a mixed start in La Liga, fans are hoping for solace on the road.
The problem for the Catalan giants is, though, that expectations have increased after the summer.
