Barcelona U19 and AZ U19 are set to clash in a UEFA Youth League Round of 16 clash at the Johan Cruyff Stadium on Wednesday.
Barcelona will be looking to win the competition for a record third time after their U19A sides won the title in the 2013/14 and 2017/18 seasons. Oscar Lopez's troops have topped Group C with an unbeaten record this time around (W4 D2) in a group that consisted of Inter, Bayern and Viktoria Plzen.
The Dutch outfit beat Shamrock Rovers and Red Star Belgrade in the first and second rounds to qualify for the Round of 16. The winners will host the victors of the match between Real Madrid Juvenil A and Salzburg U19 in the quarter-finals.
