Newcastle United will face Spanish giants and last season’s semifinalists, Barcelona, in a UEFA Champions League Match Day 1 clash on Friday, 19th September 2025 at 12:30 AM IST at St. James’ Park in Newcastle.
Barcelona come into the match with high confidence after demolishing Valencia 6-0 in their La Liga encounter on Monday, 15th September 2025. Hansi Flick’s side displayed attacking brilliance and defensive solidity, underlining their status as one of the top contenders for this season’s UCL crown.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Wolves in the Premier League. The win pushed them to 11th place in the EPL standings after four matches, and Eddie Howe’s men will now look to carry that momentum onto the European stage.
This promises to be a fascinating battle between Barcelona’s attacking flair and Newcastle’s resilience as both sides aim to secure their first three points in the Champions League campaign.
