Barca to Win at Benfica Again?

Benfica are in great form, winning six and drawing one of their last seven league and cup games. The Eagles have lost just once since the crazy 5-4 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League in January.

Benfica finished just three points away from the automatic spots. Bruno Lage’s troops had a solid league-phase campaign, winning four, drawing one, and losing three. They went on to beat Monaco in the play-offs.

Barcelona have been one of the strongest sides in the Champions League this season. They finished second behind Liverpool in the league phase after six wins, one draw, and one defeat.

Hansi Flick’s Blaugrana are unbeaten across all competitions in 2025. Their last defeat came against Atletico Madrid in La Liga in December. The Spanish top-flight leaders will take some stopping in this season’s Champions League.

These two sides were involved in the best Champions League game of the season. The pair played out a crazy nine-goal thriller at the Estadio da Luz in January, with Barca scoring two late goals to snatch a 5-4 win.

These sides have been regular opponents in Europe over the years, also meeting in the group stage in the 2021-22 season. Benfica stunned Barca with a 3-0 home win in September 2021 before holding the Spanish giants to a goalless draw in Catalonia a month later.
