Plzeň scored their first Champions League point in the 1–1 home draw against BATE.[9] In the following matches, in which they played away against Milan and Barcelona, Plzeň had difficulties, losing 2–0 both games and not even managing a single shot on goal in the latter.[10]
On gameday four, Plzeň hosted Barcelona. Being reduced to ten men and witnessing a Lionel Messi hat-trick, Plzeň lost in front of a crowd of over 20,000 by a 4–0 scoreline.[11] The last two games showed a marked improvement for Plzeň as they defeated BATE in Minsk and then scored two late goals to draw 2–2 with Milan in Prague.
