Barcelona will be aiming to get their 2023-24 Champions League campaign off to a winning start when they welcome Royal Antwerp to Camp Nou on Tuesday night.
The Catalan giants have recorded four straight wins ahead of this match, including a thumping 5-0 success over Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday night.
Xavi's side have failed to make it out of the group stage of the European Cup in their last two campaigns, though, so there is plenty of room for improvement this time around.
