Bayer Leverkusen v Barcelona tips - Barca can blitz Bayer Visit William Hill Save For Later Posted by Neil Roarty 22 Dec 2011 Tweet Barcelona look unstoppable at the moment and are hot favourites to beat Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League last 16 (credit: Denis Doyle/Getty Images) Related Articles See all Champions League news Share it Pin It Bayer Leverkusen look set to become the latest side to be steamrolled by the Barcelona juggernaut in this season's Champions League.Barcelona signed off for 2011 by beating Santos 4-0 in the Club World Cup final, prompting Barca president Sandro Rosell to declare that the current squad is the best to have ever played football."Pep Guardiola’s team is probably the best football team in history. It’s extraordinary how they play, how they pass the ball, how they defend. It’s gorgeous," said Rosell.There are many who agree with the Spaniard and even more who believe that Lionel Messi is the greatest footballer to ever grace the planet. The Argentine has finished as the top goalscorer in the Champions League for the last two seasons and he is on course, with six goals in six matches, to finish top of the charts again this year.Messi and Barcelona's next match in the Champions League is against Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the competition in the BayArena on February 14. They are 8/15 at Ladbrokes to beat the German side and that price won't be around come kick off.Barcelona are simply too good for the rest of Europe and their 3-1 win over Real Madrid, the clear second best side in the continent, in the Santiago Bernabéu recently was frightening. Messi, Xavi and Andres Iniesta play in such a way that away matches are not a hindrance and playing in Leverkusen will hold no fears.By contrast, Bayer will be terrified of facing the Champions League holders. They may have won three from three in the BayArena but they were unconvincing when beating Chelsea and Valencia and they are frequently exposed when opening up against teams in the Bundesliga. Robin Dutt will have to send his team out to attack against Barcelona as he won't be hopeful of taking anything from the return leg in the Camp Nou. That will leave Leverkusen open to counter attacks and rather than winning, at odds of 7/1 with bet365, the Germans may end up on the end of a heavy defeat.Barcelona are currently 6/5 at Paddy Power to win by two or more goals and that looks like a great price as if they go ahead early they could blow Bayer away. It is 10/1 with the same firm the the final score is 3-0 to the SPaniards and there are far worse bets at those odds.RecommendationMatch Handicap (-1 Goal) - Barcelona (6/5, Paddy Power) Read our William Hill review Get your £25 free bet at William Hill now Like Like Post to wall 1 Reads All Football News Recent Football Articles UEFA Champions League results - Chelsea 1-0 Barcelona in pictures25 May 2012Chelsea beat Barcelona 1-0 at Stamford Bridge thanks to a goal from Didier Drogba and some solid de Champions League 2012-13 Dates and Schedule23 May 2012A guide detailing all the important dates for next season’s Champions League competition Champions League 2012-13 Preview – Could Chelsea rule Europe again?22 May 2012The 2012-13 campaign will see Chelsea aim to defend the Champions League title they won by beating Champions League 2012-13 odds - Barcelona and Real Madrid both 4/121 May 2012Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, beaten semi-finalists this year, have been installed 4/1 UEFA Champions League 2012-2013 Complete Schedule and Fixture List21 May 2012A guide detailing all the fixtures and important dates for this season's UEFA Champions League comp Chelsea FC land odds of 80-1 to win UEFA Champions League20 May 2012Chelsea's UEFA Champions League victory was unexpected and caused havoc on betting exchanges with t More Stories Recent Articles WTA Strasbourg Final live - Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet25 May 2012Francesca Schiavone and Alize Cornet are scheduled to meet on Saturday for an eagerly anticipated Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Spain25 May 2012Spain have the best draw and a powerful performer but they face an uphill struggle to win Eurovisio Eurovision Song Contest 2012 Guide - Germany25 May 2012Germany's entry is one of the most professional of Eurovision 2012 but it Roman Lob's song Standing Irish 2000 Guineas Betting Tips - Who'll Win the Irish 2000 Guineas?25 May 2012Trainer Aidan O'Brien is responsible for four of the 11 colts that will go to post for Saturday's I Norway v England First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's internat League One Play-off Final First Goalscorer Cashback at Boylesports25 May 2012Boylesports are continuing their popular First Goalscorer cashback promotion on Saturday's League O More Stories Tags Bayer Leverkusen V Barcelona Tips
