After a three year drought in the competition, Barcelona finally won a knockout tie in the Champions League last season, overcoming Napoli, before eventually falling to Paris Saint-Germain in the quarter-finals. However it was undoubtedly a step forward under Xavi Hernandez, and Culers will still wonder ‘what if’ Ronald Araujo had not been sent off so early on, as they competed.
Under Hansi Flick this season, there is a degree of optimism that despite the off-field issues and chaos, with the Blaugrana looking good early on. Robert Lewandowski is scoring goals, Raphinha is running like a madman and Lamine Yamal gets better with every touch. RB Leipzig nearly took Real Madrid to extra time last season, but Dani Olmo’s majestic effort clipped the bar rather than dropping under it – he will be their big addition this year.

They will have a new group format to contend with though. Barcelona topped their group last season, but will now have to finish in the top eight of a 36-team league for top seeding. Going out, as they have done in two of the past three seasons, will be much more difficult, as they simply have to avoid being in the bottom third of the competition, rather than the bottom half of a four-team group.
How do I buy tickets to a Barcelona match in the Champions League?
Barcelona will have four home games against Bayern Munich, Atalanta, Young Boys, and Brest, then four away games against Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, Red Star Belgrade and AS Monaco. Those matches will be taking place between September and January now, at two and three-week intervals, until December, with the final two clashes on the 21st and 22nd of January, and then the 29th of January.
Tickets will be released on Barcelona’s website on weeks ahead of the event, where fans are able to seek out the clashes they desire, although often the club website requires a higher spend for seats together. For the group stage, Barcelona matches will be at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys at Montjuic, with a capacity of around 55,000.
There are other websites such as SeatPick or Entradas that will sell tickets, but there is more chance of finding the best seats at LiveFootballTickets.com. There fans can find tickets to the most in demand events, but they have a 150% money back guarantee, as well as the trust of dealing with a website that has been in business for more than 15 years. Trustpilot also gives it five stars out of five in terms of consumer confidence, a rarity amongst such websites.
As soon as the scheduling is announced, which will be on Saturday the 31st of August, and the tickets are released, Barcelona tickets will be made available shortly after. Ahead of a fascinating season for the Blaugrana, no doubt there will be special interest.
