Benfica x Barcelona 5/3/2025

 

Barca started this year’s Champions League season in a forgettable way, losing to Monaco in the opening match. However, they won 19 points from the remaining 7 matches to take second place in the group. Barca outscored all their opponents in the group stage. Hansi Flick’s side scored 28 goals, far more than second-placed Dortmund, who had 22. Barca have scored at least two goals in seven consecutive group stage matches. Goals are almost guaranteed in Barca’s matches this season. They are also leading the scoring charts in La Liga. Los Blaugrana recently held Atletico Madrid to a 4-4 draw in the first leg of the Copa del Rey. Last weekend, Barca destroyed Real Sociedad 4-0 to move to the top of La Liga. Barca are still unbeaten in 2025. They are on a 15-match unbeaten streak in all competitions. In addition, Barca have also scored 2 or more goals in 11 of their last 12 away games. In fact, Barca have had a better away record this season than they have at home at the Olimpic Lluis Companys.
