FC Barcelona Has Arrived to the Lluís Companys 

The FC Barcelona and Benfica will face off this Tuesday at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys at 1:45 PM ET in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The Catalan side comes in with the advantage after a 0-1 win in Lisbon and is looking to secure a spot in the quarter-finals with extra motivation following the passing of doctor Carles Miñarro. Under Hansi Flick, the team has been on fire in 2025, with 13 wins and 3 draws across all competitions. In the first leg, despite playing with 10 men from the 22nd minute, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny was a wall with eight saves, while Pedri and Raphinha led the attack.

Meanwhile, Benfica is counting on its strong away form, having secured big wins against Monaco and Juventus, to try and turn the tie around. However, they’ll be missing some key players: Álvaro Carreras, Ángel Di María, Florentino, and Bah are all out. Despite these setbacks, club president Rui Costa and head coach Bruno Lage remain confident about pulling off a comeback. Hansi Flick, on the other hand, has stressed the emotional significance of this match and highlighted the crucial roles of Szczęsny and Raphinha. With everything still up for grabs, a thrilling showdown awaits in Barcelona.
