Barcelona meet Aston Villa at home on Tuesday in matchday four of the Champions League league phase, according to Diario AS, which is carrying live coverage of the fixture.
Ahead of kick-off, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said he believes he has a squad capable of making history, El Periódico reports. Villa manager Unai Emery, meanwhile, has been reflecting on a past 6-1 defeat by Barcelona during his time in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, with MARCA reporting that he drew a lesson about the need for VAR in football from that match.
La Vanguardia described Emery as a "chameleon" arriving at what it called his cursed temple, framing the return to Barcelona as a notable occasion for the Villa boss. Mundo Deportivo published its projection of Barcelona's likely starting eleven for the game.
