Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona will host VfB Stuttgart midweek for a group E Champions League game. The inconsequential game will not change either teams fortune as their destinies are already set. While Barcelona have struggled during portions of the domestic season they sit in 2^nd place. Of some concern is the 4 point gap between them and leaders Real Madrid. Barcelona have not experienced any hiccups in Europe. They currently sit top of the group table and will continue to do so regardless of the outcome of this game. 11 points from 5 games led to automatic qualification as second in the table Rangers have only managed to accumulate 7 points.

Stuttgart will remain rooted to the bottom of the table regardless of the outcome of this live Champions League game. They have only managed to pick up 3 points from 5 games courtesy of a solitary win against Rangers in Germany. Stuttgart face similar issues in the German Bundesliga as they have slipped to 8^th place and look to be out of the running. This may well be the teams last Champions League encounter for some time.

In their last encounter Barcelona travelled to Germany and collected all 3 points courtesy of a comfortable 2-0 win. Goals from Puyol and Messi early in the second half sealed the victory for the travelers. Stuttgart are unlikely to survive the cauldron that is Camp Nou.
