Former Barcelona and Spain star Gaizka Mendieta says that his former club do still have a chance in the Champions League - but that no one knows which Barça is going to turn up right now. 

Mendieta went on loan to Barcelona for the 2002/03 season from Lazio, where he was knocked out of the Champions League quarter-finals by Juventus.
