Barça stars learn Euro 2020 fate

Euro 2020 is taking shape. Four playoff qualifiers have yet to be decided, but the twenty teams that are already safely through, many of which feature Barça players in their ranks, were included in the draw held on Saturday in Romania.

And the bulk of the interest, not just for Barça but also most neutrals, is in Group F, where the last two world champions, France and Germany, are paired with European champions Portugal in what is being already dubbed the ‘Group of Death’.

Belgium, Russia, Denmark, Finland

Group C (Amsterdam and Bucharest)
