When Barça play Arsenal, you know you are in for a treat, as it pits the two most recent UEFA Women's Champions League winners against each other, as well as being a repeat of the 2025 final in Lisbon. However, there is another special ingredient to the league phase matchday four fixture today, as it is being played at the Spotify Camp Nou (kick-off 6.45pm CET), no better stage to host top quality European club football.
With everything in place for an enthralling match at the Stadium, there is a lot at stake from a sporting aspect. Pere Romeu's side go into the fourth of six matches in this first phase of the tournament on the back of three wins and another victory will see them clear in top spot, while virtually guaranteeing a quarterfinal place.
Their opponents Arsenal have had a mixed start to the season. The London side have seven points from nine in the Champions League and sit fifth in the table. However, they started poorly in the domestic league, winning only one game in six, albeit they have earned seven points from the last three games, currently placing them sixth in the table, still below where they would expect to be.
Laia Aleixandri, Vicky López and Kerolin are confirmed absentees for this match and Pere Romeu has called up the following 20 players: Gemma Font, Cata Coll, McCamey, Paredes, Van Asten, Sydney, Marta, Pina, Graham, Patri, Aitana, Serrajordi, Pajr, Carla Julià, Brugts, Aïcha, Martina, Julia Torres, Rosalía and Noa Jiménez.
