FC Barcelona vs Viktoria Plzen live online

Barcelona get their Champions League campaign underway on Wednesday when they host Viktoria Plzen in Group C.

Group C is this year’s group of death, with Inter Milan facing Bayern Munich at the same time. Viktoria face a daunting opening day trip to Barcelona, where Xavi is expected to make changes following his side’s league victory over Sevilla at the weekend.

Miralem Pjanic has been left out of the Barça squad as he looks set to complete his move to Sharjah FC.

Who are Viktoria Plzen?

Viktoria Plzen made it through no less than three qualifying rounds to make the group stage of the competition.

The Czech side have brought in 14 players this summer, including new signings and players returning from loan spells.

Head coach Michal Bilek took over the side in 2020. The former international played in the 1990 World Cup for Czechoslovakia and also had a spell with Real Betis as a player.

Bellerín and Alonso join Barcelona

Héctor Bellerín has officially joined Barcelona. The former Arsenal right-back was presented as a Barça player at Campo Tito Vilanova alongside Spanish left-back Marcos Alonso on Tuesday.

“I am very excited to wear the Barça shirt with the first team, it has been one of my childhood dreams,” Bellerín said.

“I’ve found a very nice dressing room, which has welcomed me perfectly and with whom we are going to create great moments.”

The 2022-23 Champions League Matchday 1 fixture between Barcelona and Viktoria Plzen will kick off at 9pm local time (CEST) at Camp Nou, Barcelona, on Wednesday 7 September 2022.
