Latest football commentary on Monaco vs Barcelona
Monaco are in good form under Adi Hutter, with an unbeaten start and a 3-0 win over Auxerre. Hutter made several changes to the squad in the win over Auxerre, which should help Monaco maintain a fresh squad and prepare for the upcoming challenges, starting with the match against Barcelona.
Monaco have won seven of their nine games against Spanish clubs, however, they have suffered a poor run of form at home in the Champions League, losing seven in a row at the Stade Louis II. Hutter will be hoping to change that this season.
Barcelona, with Hansi Flick in charge, are looking to make it three wins in a row and improve on their recent performances in the Champions League. Despite their impressive past, Barcelona have struggled in the competition recently, making it past the quarter-finals just once since 2015 and being eliminated in the group stage twice in the last three seasons.
Barcelona have had a good run in recent Champions League opening games, and with a strong start to their domestic campaign, the Catalans will be confident going into this game. Lamine Yamal and the rest of the squad will be key to Barcelona's campaign.
Monaco are expected to face a big challenge from Barcelona, but their recent change in mentality and form could help them create a surprise. Barcelona, with their impressive form, could take advantage of this opportunity to get off to a good start in the Champions League.
