"Barça come into this one looking for a third win in four in Europe to begin the League Phase, and have a real chance to finish Matchday 4 inside the Top 8 if they get all three points and other results go their way. The race for the Top 8 promises to be really tight this season with all of the big clubs off to strong starts, so Barça must not drop points in this one."
"That doesn't mean this will be easy, though: there is a tendency to take teams like Brugge in the Champions League for granted because of the lack of name recognition, but you don't need to watch them too much to realize this is a team that can cause Barça, especially this current version of Barça full of injuries and inconsistent play, a ton of problems."
Barcelona travel to Jan Breydelstadion on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, for Matchday 4 of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League League Phase. Barcelona sit with six points and can move into the Top 8 with a win and favorable results. Multiple key players are unavailable or doubtful for Barcelona, including Marc-André ter Stegen, Gavi, Pedri and Raphinha, weakening selection options. Club Brugge pose physical threats: strong aerial presence, quick wingers and effective counterattacks. The fixture referee is Anthony Taylor. Broadcasters include TUDN, TNT Sports 4, SuperSport and SONY TEN 1, with streaming on Paramount+ and discovery+.
