Champions League 2025-26: Barcelona Seek Victory Over Newcastle In Camp Nou

By IANS News March 17, 2026 • 19:58 PM View: 187

Hansi Flick: Banking on home conditions, Spanish giants FC Barcelona will hope to get the better of English side Newcastle United at Camp Nou on Wednesday, aiming to seal their place in the quarterfinals of the Champions League 2025-26.

Barcelona escaped with a 1-1 draw in Newcastle a week ago, thanks to Lamine Yamal's 95th-minute penalty after an underwhelming display at St. James' Park, leaving Hansi Flick's side as the clear favourite for the return leg.

Flick rested Yamal and Fermin Lopez for Sunday's 5-2 home win over Sevilla, and the comfortable nature of that victory allowed him to withdraw other key players such as Pedri, Joao Cancelo, and Marc Bernal in the second half to give them much-needed rest, reports Xinhua.
