Barcelona and Celtic are going to battle in a Group H match on Wednesday and things will be very tough for the Celts, as the match is at Estadio Camp Nou and Barca is playing very well and they are the leaders in Group H and they would like to get a positive result on Wednesday, as they are just two points up on AC Milan and they will be playing against Ajax Amsterdam, who are only one point behind that on the table.
Barcelona comes into the day after an upset last time out in the Champions League to Ajax and that makes the match on Tuesday even more important, as they were beaten 2-1 in that game and it wasn't close until Xavi put in a goal near the end and Ajax got scores from Thulani Serero and Danny Hoesen and that came after Arsenal had a solid performance as well and they are looking good on their Champions' League group table.
The match comes after some great play on Tuesday, with Real Madrid taking down Copenhagen on goals from Luka Modric and Ronaldo and Cristiano almost had two, but he missed on a penalty kick in a rare mistake and PSG fell on the day and that was big for their group, as Olympiakos was able to get a victory as well. Chelsea has pressure on them going into Wednesday, as they have lost their last match in the Premier League and the Champions League and EPL defeat was tough since it was against Stoke City.

From earlier on Wednesday from Reuters.com:
Galatasaray's Champions League Group B match against Juventus will resume on Wednesday after it was abandoned due to heavy snowfall in Istanbul, European soccer's governing body UEFA said on Tuesday.
"The UEFA Champions League Group B fixture between Galatasaray and Juventus will continue on Wednesday from 1400 CET after Tuesday's match was abandoned due to snow," UEFA said on its website (www.uefa.com).
The game was halted in the 32nd minute at the Ali Sami Yen Spor Kompleksi stadium with the score 0-0.
"The match was abandoned for tonight. The referee, in consultation with the team captains and coaches, agreed that the conditions were no longer playable," UEFA Media Officer Amanuel Abate said.
"The match will be played tomorrow. Weather conditions have been quite extreme."
Portuguese referee Pedro Proenca ordered both teams off the pitch to allow the lines to be cleared by groundstaff, but the match was called off after a 20-minute break.
Juventus need a point to join group winners Real Madrid in the last 16, while a Galatasaray victory would see them claim second place and a spot in the knockout stages. The challenge enraged Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin who was sent off for protesting.
Eighth-placed Milan were rescued at Livorno by Balotelli who thumped a spectacular shot past keeper Francesco Bardi from 30 metres with six minutes left.
His leveller came after two sucker punches from Luca Siligardi and Paulinho had turned the game in the home team's favour following the former Manchester City forward's seventh-minute opener.
Balotelli almost clinched a barely deserved win for Milan when he hit the bar with a looping effort two minutes from the end.
Second-placed Roma host flamboyant Fiorentina in one of seven fixtures on Sunday.
