FC Barcelona vs APOEL Nicosia match result :(1-0)

Barcelona will make their 2014-15 UEFA Champions League debut tomorrow, as they prepare to welcome Cypriot champions APOEL Nicosia to the Camp Nou in the opening match of Group F. 

Following two impressive, yet narrow victories over Villarreal CF and Athletic Bilbao, the Blaugrana sense that tomorrow’s match presents them with an opportunity to make a statement to the rest of the footballing world: a statement that real progress has and is being made under the guidance of new head coach, Luis Enrique.

 The appointment of the former club captain has revolutionised the club, prompting some to draw comparisons with Barça’s recent success and to dub Lucho as the "next Pep Guardiola".

 Perhaps such comparisons are a little premature, but there can be no denying that the early signs are very positive indeed.
