Barcelona will be hoping to wake up from their two year old slumber when they host Sporting Lisbon in the pick of the midweek round of matches in the UEFA Champions League, our coverage starting from 19:45 GMT Tuesday 16^th September 2008.

Barcelona comes into this clash on the back of a decent pre-season and they look to be going the right way after two long years of disappointment and under achievement. The Catalan giants have spent quite a lot over the summer and after disposing the old guard in Ronaldinho, Deco and Zambrotta, they will be looking at Lionel Messi to inspire them to their Third Champions League title. Messi has by far looked the best player in World football over the past one month and this will be his pivotal year in Blaugrana colours as he aims to resurrect the club following two bad years. Barcelona will have most of their squad fit for this clash and their front line of Henry, Messi, Etoo and Helb will be eager to make an impact when they take the field against Sporting Lisbon this coming midweek.

Sporting on the other hand, finished a massive twenty-two points behind Porto last season and despite having a host of young superstars ready to make an impact on the World stage, they will have to improve upon their current form to stand any chance of success against Barcelona this midweek. Sporting have a penchant of playing fast attacking football and that policy will be tested against the passing giants of Europe, Barcelona. Much of Sporting’s success will depend on their midfield pair of Moutinho and Veloso and with both of them looking to secure moves abroad; a good performance against Barca will go a long way in establishing their credentials in the times ahead.
