Overview
After a white-handed season 2 years ago, the Catalan giant appointed coach Hansi Flick and quickly achieved success when he seized all three Spanish domestic titles.
This season has not started smoothly, but Barcelona has now regained stability. They lead La Liga and won the Spanish Super Cup in January after victories against Athletic Bilbao and Real Madrid.
Meanwhile, in Denmark, the capital team Copenhagen won the Superliga championship last spring. However, in the current season, they are facing many difficulties when temporarily ranked fifth in the standings, 12 points behind the leading team Aarhus.
In the Champions League, Barcelona has not yet shown absolute conviction. They started with a victory at Newcastle, then successively defeated Olympiacos and Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou.
However, the defeat to PSG and especially the heavy 0-3 defeat to Chelsea have revealed many problems. The 3-3 draw with Club Brugge made the journey of Flick's team even more thorny. However, in the most recent match, Barca regained the feeling of victory with an impressive performance, defeating Slavia Prague 4-2 right on the away field.
On the Copenhagen side, coach Jacob Neestrup's team had to start from the qualifiers and successively overcome Drita, Malmo and Basel to qualify for the group stage. However, the journey afterwards was extremely arduous.
After a 2-2 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, the Danish representative lost 3 consecutive matches, including defeats to Qarabag, Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham.
However, Copenhagen closed the 2025 year positively with 2 consecutive victories against Kairat and Villarreal, thereby maintaining hopes of winning a play-off ticket. After a long winter break, they continued to surprise when they drew with Napoli, despite having to play with one less player for most of the match.
The two teams faced each other in the Champions League in 2010, when Barcelona won at Camp Nou, but only drew away.
Expected lineup:
Garcia, Balde, Martin, Eric Garcia, Kounde, Pedri, De Jong, Raphinha, Fermin Lopez, Bardagji, Lewandowski.
Kotarski, Lopez, Suzuki, Pereira, Meling, Ashouri, Madsen, Claesson, Elyounoussi, Dadason, Cornelius.
The match between Barcelona and Copenhagen takes place at 3:00 AM on January 29 (Vietnam time).
It's a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.
