Barcelona didn't quite look European champions when they lost 4-1 at Celta Vigo last week.  They got back in winning ways on Saturday with a 2-1 home win over Las Palmas but an injury to Lionel Messi  looks like ruling him out for the next couple of months. For most teams that would be a disaster but when you also have Neymar and Suarez it's not such a nightmare. Suarez scored both goals in the win over Las Palmas and his form will be really important while Messi bids to regain fitness.  At least their Champions League campaign is going okay with a draw at Roma in their first game.  Leverkusen had to get past Lazio to reach the group stages and won their opening game against BATE Borisov who are the whipping boys in this group. They have already lost three games in the Bundesliga this season with heavy defeats to Munich and Dortmund. Away form isn't their strong point and another loss looks likely even if Messi will be missing for the hosts.
