Copenhagen starting XI

The Champions League 2025–26 reaches its final league-phase matchday under extreme conditions: 18 simultaneous matches and a tight battle for the eight direct spots to the round of 16. With 13 points, FC Barcelona sit ninth and are forced to win to clear an increasingly demanding cutoff.

The margin is razor-thin. Goal difference separates the Catalans from the privileged zone, leaving no room for speculation: victory is the only safe path.

How FC Barcelona arrive

The Blaugrana come off a crucial 4–2 win over Slavia Prague, a result that restored confidence at the perfect moment. With four wins, one draw and two losses, Barça know that a strong performance at home could reshape their entire European campaign.

Absences matter, but the context pushes harder: the Camp Nou and the need to avoid the play-in round turn this match into an early final.

FC Copenhagen’s complicated scenario

FC Copenhagen arrive in Catalonia facing a do-or-die situation. Sitting 26th with eight points, the Danish champions must win and hope for favorable results to stay alive in the competition.

The 1–1 draw against Napoli kept their hopes alive, but the picture is clear: only a heroic result in Barcelona can sustain their European dream.

What’s at stake tonight

For Barcelona, the reward is massive: direct qualification to the round of 16 and avoiding an extra round that could drain the squad. For Copenhagen, it is their final shot in the Champions League.
