Get set for Camp Nou fireworks

Tonight’s clash of the heavyweights at Camp Nou is set up to be a classic.

Get set for Camp Nou fireworks

You could have gotten good odds against a blank score-sheet when Barcelona and Milan met last week. Barcelona were odds on, the draw was 5/2, 0-0 was 12/1. Football is usually all about goals, but it was a good result for those looking forward to a second helping of drama.

Between them these two sides have scored 224 times this season. Milan are the top scorers in Italy, Barcelona have averaged three goals a game in their 48 matches so far. They are even stronger favourites to go through now than they were last week, with Lionel Messi heavily backed to score and set a new Champions League record for the season (he currently has 12) as we seem to move inexorably towards the expected Spanish showdown in Munich.
