Barcelona have made a remarkable start to their European campaign, winning all three league-phase fixtures and scoring an impressive 19 goals. Pere Romeu’s side sit top of the standings with nine points, having conceded just twice.
The Catalan giants have also won nine of their opening ten Liga F matches, scoring 41 goals and conceding only five. Sunday’s convincing 5-1 victory over Madrid CFF moved Barcelona four points clear of Real Madrid at the top.
Barcelona have won their last 11 Women’s Champions League home fixtures, losing just once in their previous 35 European matches on home soil (W33, D1). The hosts will be hoping to extend that impressive record, with William Hill offering 1/4 for another victory.

Arsenal head to Spain unbeaten in their opening three Champions League fixtures (W2, D1), collecting seven points while keeping two clean sheets. Renée Slegers’ side have also avoided defeat in their last six league-phase matches, winning five.
However, domestic performances have been less convincing, with Arsenal sitting sixth in the WSL after winning just three of their opening nine matches. Sunday’s 2-1 victory at Liverpool did extend their unbeaten run across all competitions to four matches.
The Gunners can take encouragement from their most recent meeting with Barcelona, having secured a 1-0 victory in the 2025 Champions League final. Arsenal have also scored in all 13 of their previous European group-stage or league-phase away fixtures, with William Hill offering 13/2 for another famous victory.
