The Catalan football club has completed matches against two of the continent’s strongest opponents and is now focused on the upcoming group stage fixtures. To advance to the playoffs, the team needs to consistently earn points in the remaining six matches to secure a place among the tournament’s top eight teams.
Barcelona’s next Champions League game will take place on Tuesday, 21 October 2025, at home. On this day, the Catalan side will host Olympiacos, who have shown strong form this season and hold a leading position in the Greek championship. The match will be available to watch in Spain on the Movistar+ platform.
The remainder of Barcelona’s Champions League schedule is as follows:
- Barcelona vs Olympiacos (21 October 2025, Tuesday)
- Club Brugge vs Barcelona (5 November 2025, Wednesday)
- Chelsea vs Barcelona (25 November 2025, Tuesday)
- Barcelona vs Eintracht Frankfurt (9 December 2025, Tuesday)
- Slavia Prague vs Barcelona (21 January 2026, Wednesday)
- Barcelona vs Copenhagen (28 January 2026, Wednesday)
Under Hansi Flick, the team made a confident start in the domestic league and is aiming to defend its championship title. After last year’s run to the semifinals of the European tournament, expectations remain high. Newcomers Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford have quickly adapted and strengthened the squad, providing reliability and fresh energy. A balance of young talents and experienced players makes for a well-rounded team, and Lamine Yamal is already regarded as one of the world’s top footballers.
Since the 1992/93 season, when the Champions League adopted its current format, strikers who have set scoring records have held a special place in the tournament’s history. Cristiano Ronaldo tops the list for most goals, followed closely by Lionel Messi. Both have surpassed the milestone of 100 goals.
Current ranking of the tournament’s top scorers:
- Cristiano Ronaldo — 140 goals
- Lionel Messi — 129
- Robert Lewandowski — 105
- Karim Benzema — 90
- Raúl González — 71
- Kylian Mbappé — 57
- Thomas Müller — 57
- Ruud van Nistelrooy — 56
- Erling Haaland — 50
- Thierry Henry — 50
- Zlatan Ibrahimović — 48
Robert Lewandowski continues to add to his tally, while Karim Benzema ended his career as one of the most prolific forwards of the decade. These players have shaped the tournament in recent years, although none matched the scoring average of Alfredo Di Stéfano in the European Cup’s earlier era.
Now, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland are steadily moving towards new records, continuing the race for the top among Europe’s best strikers.
