Barcelona suffered a second straight 3-0 loss in the Champions League group stage as they were well beaten by Benfica in Lisbon on Wednesday.

Ronald Koeman’s men, who lost their opener to Bayern Munich, now desperately need two wins in their upcoming games against Dynamo Kiev to boost their hopes of getting out of Group E.

Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa’s goal at the start of the second half gave Juventus a 1-0 win over holders Chelsea.

It is a second straight defeat for Chelsea after their loss to Manchester City at the weekend and it leaves Thomas Tuchel’s team three points behind leaders Juve in Champions League Group H.
