Match Details and Schedule

Preview

FC Barcelona come into the match looking to build on their recent turnaround after an inconsistent start to the Champions League group phase. Under coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona secured wins over Newcastle United and Olympiacos, placing them in a better position in Group E, currently sitting mid-table with six points from three games.

Barcelona’s campaign started with a loss to reigning holders Paris Saint-Germain but has gathered momentum. Key players like Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo have returned to full fitness, adding firepower to the Catalans' attacking line-up.

Despite the absence of important players such as Raphinha, Pedri, and Ter Stegen, Barcelona’s experience and tactical nous make them a formidable force away from home.

On the other hand, Club Brugge opened their Champions League campaign with a stunning 4-1 victory over Monaco but have since faltered in away fixtures against Atalanta and Bayern Munich. Domestically, Brugge trail Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Pro League and are eager for a strong home performance against the Spanish giants.
