Just 6 weeks ago, Barcelona went to Lisbon to face Benfica in the qualifying round. They won dramatically with a score of 5-4, thereby winning a ticket to the round of 16. The lucky draw once again arranged Barcelona to meet Benfica in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
Benfica is currently second in the Portuguese top league table, 3 points behind the leader but has played 1 match less. The home team had nearly a week off because the most recent match against Gil Vicente was postponed.
On the other side, Barcelona has a fairly tight schedule, but still ensures the leading position in the La Liga rankings. Hansi Flick's side have been slow since the end of 2024, but they are unbeaten in 2025.
The rational rotation and stable performance of the players help Barcelona be considered one of the bright candidates for the Champions League championship this season. It will not be easy for the home team to gain an advantage over Barca in this match.
