This Saturday, August 31, UEFA has officially published the 2024/2025 Champions League calendar. FC Barcelona, ​​therefore, already knows when it will debut and all the key dates that could take it to the round of 16 of this new Champions League. The Blaugrana will debut in the European Cup on Thursday, September 19 against Monaco at the Luis II Stadium.

After playing against the Monegasques, Hansi Flick's men will host Young Boys in Montjuïc on 10/1 and two weeks later, also at home, the big game of this group will arrive, against Bayern Munich. The Barcelona fans will face Bayern Munich at home on October 23. It will be a new opportunity for the culés to 'take revenge' against the Bavarians, who in recent years has become their great 'black beast'.

Barça visits Dortmund in December

Red Star in Serbia and Brest in the Lluís Companys will be Barcelona's next rivals in this Champions League. Already in December, on matchday 6, there will be what is assumed to be the second most difficult match of this first phase, against Borussia Dortmund. The Catalans will visit the Signal Iduna Park on 11/12 in a high-profile duel against the finalist of the last Champions League, who in their field is always a rival to take into account.

Finally, the last two days will be against Benfica, on January 21, and against Atalanta, on the 29th of the same month, which will be the match that closes this league. It should be noted that Barça will not be able to play any home games at the new Camp Nou, since UEFA has prohibited any team from changing stadiums in the middle of the first phase. Therefore, Barcelona fans will not be able to debut their new stadium in Europe until the round of 16, if they finish among the top 8 among the 36, or until the playoffs, if they do not finish among the top 8.
