Although Benfica started strong, they have managed just one win in their last few Champions League matches. However, Bruno Lage’s squad enters this clash riding high after a dominant 4-0 win over FC Famalicão in the Primeira Liga, which should boost their confidence.
Barcelona, on the other hand, began 2025 on a high by clinching the Spanish Super Cup and delivering a resounding 5-2 win over Real Madrid in the final. Yet, they stumbled in La Liga, settling for a 1-1 draw against Getafe in their most recent outing. Determined to bounce back, the Blaugrana will be focused on regaining momentum.
In the Champions League, Barcelona has been in exceptional form, securing five wins out of six matches. Currently sitting second in the standings, they will aim to solidify their position at the top to ensure a more favorable draw in the round of 16.
