FC Barcelona already knows its agenda for the next month of competition. LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League defined the schedules of the matches that the team led by Hansi Flick will play from Sunday, September 15 to Sunday, October 6, the date on which the club calendar will once again be interrupted to give way to another break. international. The same will happen in mid-November.
In that sense, the calendar provides a demanding fixture for Barça between September and early October, with seven games (five of them away), including five League games and two Champions League games. With a short squad, the challenge is brutal for the Blaugranas, especially considering the absences due to injury (there are currently seven players in the infirmary). However, the coaching staff is confident in the potential of young talent to maintain the league leadership and get off to a good start internationally.
LaLiga calendar requires 4 outings and only 1 home game for Barça
Barça will return to action after the break with a demanding visit to Montilivi, on Sunday, September 15 against Girona. The match will be played much earlier than usual, at 16:15 (4:15 PM CEST), a time where the culés had some problems last season. In their last visit to the Catalan team, Barça fell 4-2, in a duel also played in the afternoon.
The League calendar will continue on Sunday the 22nd with another complicated outing, this time to Villarreal. The duel corresponding to matchday 6 will be played starting at 18:00 (6:00 PM CEST). The domestic competition will take place during the week, with Barça hosting Getafe on Wednesday the 25th, at 9:00 p.m. in Montjuïc (9:00 PM CEST). The culés close the month of September by visiting Osasuna on Saturday the 28th, also at 9:00 PM (9:00 PM CEST). Just before the next break, Barça must visit Alavés on Sunday, October 6, with a time to be confirmed by LaLiga.
Monaco and Young Boys, Barça's first rivals in the Champions League
For its part, the Champions League calendar also begins on the road for the Barça team. For matchday 1, Hansi Flick's men must travel to Monaco to visit the Principality team, a rival that the culés already faced this summer in the Joan Gamper Trophy. There, the Gauls surprisingly scored (0-3), so it will be a match with an air of revenge. The match will be played on an unusual day for the Champions League, Thursday, September 19 from 9:00 p.m. (9:00 PM CEST). On the second day of the new 'league phase', Barça will host Young Boys on Tuesday, October 1 in Montjuïc. Like the duel against Monaco, it will be played at 9:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. CEST).
