Another key match in the fourth round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League will take place, while the reigning La Liga champions will travel to Club Brugge for an away game. Flick stated that some previously injured players have gradually returned to the team, and he is happy with their performance in training.

Barcelona defeated Olympiacos 6-1 in the third round of the Champions League, thanks to a hat-trick from Fermín and goals from Yamal and Rashford. Barcelona currently sit 12th in the Champions League standings with 6 points and need another 3 points to move closer to qualification.

In addition, in the earlier La Liga Round 11 key match, Barcelona defeated Elche 3-1, successfully recovering from their previous defeat to Real Madrid.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said at a press conference, "We have players gradually returning, and I like everything I see in training, and I also see the team's mentality improving."

“We had a lot of injury problems at the beginning of the season, but I liked the team’s training before this game. There will be a great atmosphere at Club Brugge tomorrow. They like to control the ball and press, and I think it will be a bit like the game against Elche.”

Flick said, "We must fight as a whole and focus on our game plan. The victory against Elche was a step forward, and now we have key players like Olmo and Lewandowski back, so we have the ability to beat Club Brugge."

“They have a height advantage over us, but that’s not a problem. The important thing is attitude, and it won’t be an obstacle. I think there will be good moments and not-so-good moments in the game. Playing at home is very important for Club Brugge, and they will definitely want to give their best performance.”
