With the group won and all their loose ends tied up, Barcelona have rolled out a lineup full of talented reserves that will presumably fill the world with fear at the ridiculous talent this team has in the developmental pipes. Or not, who knows, but there's no question this is not your typical Barca side, though there are some familiar faces. Carles Puyol, Adriano, Alex Song and David Villa all start, along with regular subs Cristian Tello and Thiago Alcântara. After that, it's the kids!
Benfica meanwhile need a result to secure second place with Celtic right on their tails, though Benfica does hold the tiebreaker. With that in mind, Jorge Jesus has put out a full strength squad as the Eagles look to advance to the next round.
Barcelona starting lineup (4-3-3): José Manuel Pinto; Martín Montoya, Carles Puyol, Carles Planas, Adriano; Sergi Roberto, Alex Song, Rafinha; Cristian Tello, David Villa, Thiago Alcântara.
Benfica starting lineup (4-1-3-2): Artur Moraes; Maxi Pereira, Luisão, Ezequiel Garay, Melgarejo; Nemanja Matić; Nolito, André Gomes, Ola John; Rodrigo, Lima.
