Barcelona will be doing something on Thursday that they haven't had to do so far this season: trying to bounce back from a loss.
Prior to visiting Bayern Munich on Matchday 4 of the 2022-23 UEFA Women's Champions League, Barca hadn't lost a single match in any competition during the current campaign. In fact, they hadn't even dropped a point, as every match had been a victory for the Blaugrana.
That changed last week when Bayern, in need of a win to draw level on points with Barca at the top of Group D, stunned the Catalans with a 3-1 victory.
Now Barcelona look to avoid a similar fate against Benfica, who sit in third place but are only three points back of the group co-leaders. The Portuguese side can cause absolute havoc with a result at home on Thursday, something that Barca will aim to avoid at all costs.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of the match.
