Benfica will welcome Dynamo Kyiv and in the event of a tie, Barcelona would decide better matches, as it won 3-0 in Lisbon.
Camp Nou has been playing brisk football from the beginning. Barcelona was more active, but the chances of Demir, Gavi and Albu did not bring a goal effect.
With 34 minutes played Benfica nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar.
With 37 minutes played, the visitors broke through on the right after some poor defending.
At the end of the half, Barcelona stepped up the pressure and the crossbar shook after Demira’s shot.
In the second half, the goalkeeper of the guests, Vlachodimos, shone at the head of de Jong, and since Arauja’s goal did not pay for the offside and in the end the guests did not use a quick break, a goal-free draw was born.
In Tuesday’s duel, the F-groups triumphed on FC Villarreal 2-0 thanks to goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sanch.

The home team were also more active in the second half, in the 59th minute de Gea neutralized Trigueros again.
The guests gradually came out of the defense shell and in the 71st minute Sancho burned a big chance, who did not beat Rulli after the action of the substitute Fernandes from the top five.
With 78 minutes played, seemingly due to lack of experience, Ronaldo needlessly tripped an opponent just outside the penalty area, but the free kick that followed didn’t succeed.
The scorer was replaced by Sancho after 90 minutes following a nasty collision.
Bayern took the lead on the icy terrain of Kiev in the 14th minute, when Polish gunner Lewandowski overcame the home goalkeeper with demonstration scissors. At the end of the first half, Coman raised to the post. In the 70th minute, Dynamo lowered thanks to Garmaš
