Barcelona kept on track for
a place in the last 16 after a 0-2 victory at Levski Sofia. However Werder
Bremen's win over Chelsea in the other group match meant that Frank Rijkaard's
side have to beat the Germans in their last game in two week's time to go
through.
Giuly gave Barça the
lead with less than five minutes gone after Gudjohnsen's header from
Zambrotta's cross was blocked. But after that the Bulgarian side came close to
equalising a couple of times, especially with an effort from Stanslav Angelov
which Valdés kept out.
Gudjohnsen and Giuly both
saw efforts saved by Petkov after the restart, but the keeper couldn't hold on
to a long shot by Deco a few minutes later, and Iniesta was there to drive the
ball home for his side's second. It was enough to ensure the victory, and now
it all comes down to that last game in the Nou Camp. |
