The UEFA Women's Champions League is back in action with another set of group games this week as Barcelona take on HB Koge on Wednesday. Barcelona have been exceptional this year and hold the upper hand going into this game.
HB Koge are rooted to the bottom of Group C and have struggled in the Champions League this season. The Danish outfit has lost all its five games so far and will need to take it up a notch to stand a chance in this match.
Barcelona, on the other hand, are in excellent form at the moment and have been flawless in the Champions League. The reigning European champions have comfortably topped their group and outclassed arch-rivals Real Madrid over the weekend.
