The Barcelona vs. Benfica match in the Champions League Round of 16 is set to be played on Tuesday night, March 11, 2025, at 7:45 PM GMT (3:45 PM ET, 12:45 PM PT).

Live streaming for Barcelona vs. Benfica in the Champions League 2024/2025 will be available on Vidio.com, Moji, and beIN Sports.

This is the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16. Barcelona comes into this match with an advantage, having secured a 1-0 victory in the first leg on March 5, 2025.

During the first leg at Benfica’s home ground, Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, Barcelona’s only goal was scored by Raphinha in the 61st minute.

Now, the Blaugrana aim to seal their spot in the quarter-finals. A draw would be enough for Barcelona to advance.

Although Barcelona holds the advantage, the 1-0 win in the first leg does not guarantee safety. Meanwhile, Benfica will look to turn the tide in this decisive encounter.

However, this will be no easy task for Benfica. Barcelona has been impressive under head coach Hansi Flick.

The Blaugrana remain unbeaten in their last eight Champions League matches this season, recording seven wins and one draw—one of the longest unbeaten streaks in the competition.

The last time Barcelona had such an unbeaten run in a single Champions League season was in 2018/2019 when they went 11 matches without defeat before being eliminated by Liverpool in the semifinals.

Barcelona also has a strong record against Benfica and Portuguese clubs in general. They have only lost once in their last 10 meetings against Benfica (5 wins, 4 draws) in European competitions, including remaining undefeated in four away games (2 wins, 2 draws).

With their first-leg victory, Barcelona has now beaten Benfica twice in the Champions League this season. The first win came in the group stage in January 2025, where Barcelona triumphed 5-4.

Benfica’s away record against Barcelona is also concerning. Under head coach Bruno Lage, Benfica has never won an away match against Barcelona and has failed to score in their last three encounters at the Catalan club’s home.

The last Portuguese club to win an away game against Barcelona was FC Porto in September 1972 in the UEFA Cup.

Since then, Portuguese clubs have played 14 away matches against Barcelona, suffering 12 defeats and managing only 2 draws.

For this match, Barcelona is expected to field their best lineup, including the attacking trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal.

Raphinha, who scored in the first leg, has now contributed to 20 goals for Barcelona in the Champions League (12 goals and 8 assists). On average, he is involved in a goal or assist every 76 minutes, the highest contribution rate by a Brazilian player in the competition (minimum of 10 matches).

On the other hand, Barcelona’s defense must be wary of Benfica’s striker, Vangelis Pavlidis, who has scored seven goals in the Champions League this season.

The last Benfica players to score more goals in a single Champions League season were Eusébio and José Torres in the 1964/1965 campaign.
