Barcelona are currently in 16th place in the Champions League qualifying stage, after a narrow victory over Newcastle and a 1-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The loss to defending champions of Europe was then followed by a heavy stumble of 1-4 against Sevilla in La Liga, causing Hansi Flick's team to enter the international break in a heavy mood.
It was thought that they would have to receive another disappointing result when Girona equalized in the derby last weekend, but Ronald Araujo played the role of a hero with a goal in the 93rd minute. This goal helped Barcelona win 2-1 and shorten the gap with Real Madrid to 2 points.
This late victory helped Barca relieve pressure before entering El Clasico at Santiago Bernabeu this weekend. However, their first meeting is against Olympiacos - the opponent that the Catalan team defeated 3-1 in their most recent meeting in the group stage of the 2017-2019 season.
Statistics also support the Blaugrana when they won all their home matches against Greek representatives in the European arena. Hansi Flick once had a sweet memory when facing Olympiacos, with a 2-0 victory in the group stage of the 2019-2020 Champions League.
Olympiacos are in the Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2020-21 season, after winning the domestic league last season. Under the leadership of Jose Luis Mendilibar, the Greek team is trying to affirm its position in the most prestigious playground in Europe.
However, their start was not easy. Olympiacos were held to a goalless draw by Pa fos in their opening match, despite having to play with one less player for most of the time.
In the second match, they continued to lose 0-2 to Arsenal and fell to the bottom of the Champions League rankings.
