Brentford are the Barcelona of the lower leagues according to their fans, so they might have to pinch themselves now they are locking horns with the European giants.
Bees boss Mark Warburton spent time watching Barca train in the early days of his coaching career, which is reflected in the flowing football on show at Griffin Park under the former City banker.
And now the Championship new-boys are going toe-toe-toe with the Catalans, albeit at youth level.
A Brentford Under 16 side recently headed over to Spain to pit their wits against Barcelona's academy, which boasts the likes of Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta as two of their graduates.
The young Bees gave their opponents a run for their money and were edged out 2-1, despite taking a shock lead through Danny Parish.
'At these age groups we can compete with the very best in Europe which can only bode well for players going into the first team,' manager Danny Buck told the club's website.
'Staff, players and even Barcelona have got something out of playing against a very English team in terms of our counter-attacking style.'
