    Looking at images on the Barcelona Twitter account, Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez all sit next to one another in the corner of the dressing room tonight.

    I'm not sure about you, but if I was in there and looked up to see them lurking in the corner, I'd be inclined to think things will turn out OK.

    Arsenal can qualify for the last 16 tonight and will have half an eye on Paris St-Germain's trip to Basel in Group A.

    Confusingly, either PSG and Arsenal will both qualify tonight, or neither will.

    If one of Arsenal or PSG win and the other avoids defeat, both are through. Two wins and it's also a ticket to the last 16 for them both. 

    Capiche?

    .

    An Edinburgh pub which went viral after it gave Borussia Monchengladbach a new title has updated its signage ahead of tonight's match.

    Tiles Bar gave up trying to spell the club's name and instead went for "A German Team" on a sandwich board advertising the Champions League clash against Celtic a fortnight ago.

    The German team changed their English language Twitter handle to match.

    The bar now has a sign saying: "A German Team V A Glasgow Team".

    Tonight needs to be treated like a final, says Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.

    City lost 4-0 in Spain and are second in Group C, one point in front of Borussia Monchengladbach.

    "We dropped two points against Celtic, so we have to recover those points," said the former Barcelona manager.

    "It's not a final for them, it is a final for us."

    They won't be alone in losing every game they've ever played against Barcelona, but when you have (arguably) the Spanish side's greatest ever manager in your dugout, and a host of backroom and boardroom members to match, it makes it all the more galling.

    In those five defeats, City have only managed to keep 11 men on the pitch once. Martin Demichelis. Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy and Claudio Bravo have all been sent off.
