The Wait is over, it's Olympique Lyonnais whom Barcelona Football Club will face in the first knockout round of Champions League 2018-19 season. Even though Schalke was my preferred opposition, Lyon is not a bad opponent to face at this stage. Barcelona unless screws things seriously, they are highly rated to go through the next round.
Lyon currently lies third in the Ligue 1, almost 13 points adrift of the League leaders PSG. The first leg will be held on the 19th of February in Lyon. Barcelona has the advantage of playing the second leg at home, on the 13th of March.
