FC Barcelona is back in action in the UEFA Champions League with a trip to Belgium to take on Club Brugge on Wednesday.
Barca is fresh off a 3-1 win over Elche in La Liga play over the weekend, with three different scorers finding the mark in Montjuic.
The win allowed the Blaugrana to keep pace with Real Madrid at the top of the league table, sitting four points adrift of their great rivals after losing El Clasico a week and a half ago.
The Catalans have won twice and lost once in their first three contests of the 2025-26 Champions League campaign, good enough for ninth in the league phase table, just one spot out of the automatic qualification slots.
Club Brugge, meanwhile, are second in the Belgian Pro League, three points behind Union St. Gilloise. The 19-time league champions enjoyed a 2-1 win over FCV Dender EH on Saturday.
They've lost their last two outings in the Champions League, however, falling 4-0 to Bayern Munich and 2-1 Atalanta. Their three points through three games has them in 20th place in the tournament standings heading into Matchday 4.
Barcelona and Club Brugge have only faced each other twice before, with the Spanish giants winning both meetings way back in the group stage of the 2002-03 season.
