Today's Barça-Olympiacos match guide: where to watch, schedule, and probable lineups

BarcelonaThe 2025-26 UEFA Champions League returns after the second FIFA break of the season. Barça host Olympiacos this Tuesday, October 21 at 6:45 p.m. at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium in the match corresponding to the third matchday of the group stage.

The Blaugranas arrive with the urgency to recover after a home defeat against Paris Saint-Germain that has left them in the round of 32 in the group stage standings. Olympiacos, meanwhile, are still looking for their first victory and want to use the visit to turn things around.

Barça have had an inconsistent start in the Champions League: despite having won their first match at Newcastle (1-2), the defeat against PSG (1-2) has complicated the situation. Mendilibar's team, meanwhile, arrive with just one point (0-0 against Paphos) from their first two matches and no wins, forcing them to react away from home.

Barça are missing Marc-André ter Stegen, Joan García, Pablo Gavi, Dani Olmo, and Robert Lewandowski due to injury. Ferran Torres and Raphinha Dias are doubtful for the match. Olympiacos are without Konstantinos Angelakis, Rodinei, and Gabriel Strefezza.
