Barcelona vs Olympiakos Match Overview – 21.10.2025

Barcelona hosts Olympiakos in the Catalan capital in a game from the third round of the Champions League’s league stage. Los Cules will try to get back to winning after their home defeat against PSG while the Greek side have won just one point in the first two rounds.

Barca are currently rocked by many problems regarding injuries of key players. It means that the manager Hansi Flick will have to look at his bench to find a solution in this situation. This gives Olympiakos a bigger hope to cause an upset here, but it won’t be easy for them – that’s for sure.

Olympiakos are currently coached by a Spanish manager who knows Barcelona well – that’s Jose Luis Mendilibar. He’s the Greeks’ main hope for avoid the defeat on Tuesday.

Barcelona News & Analysis

Like we said, Barcelona are having too many problems regarding injured players. Super stars like Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski are sidelined while Joan Garcia, Fermin Lopez and Dani Olmo are injured as well. Ferran Torres could miss the game, too – the Shark injured himself during international duty.

All of this means that players like Roony Bardghji, Marc Casado and Dro could find themselves in the line-up in the next Champions League. At the same time Marcus Rashford will have to lead the attack – the English international is playing pretty well since joining Barca on loan.

Eric Garcia could start as a center-back alongside Pau Cubarsi. It’s not a secret that he’s favoured by Hansi Flick and Ronald Araujo is not completely convincing since the beginning of the season.

Olympiakos News & Analysis

Olympiakos are still without a win since the start of the Champions League’s league stage. Far from surprising, Mendilibar’s team lost its visit to Arsenal at the Emirates in the previous round. Now they have another very difficult trip away from home.

What Jose Luis Mendilibar has to do here is find a way to close Barca’s attacking play. He’s well-known as a defensive coach who knows how to build his team’s defence. Now he has to prove it once again.

Players like Podence, Chiquinho and Martins will be key for hurting Barcelona at the back. Meanwhile Mehdi Taremi could lead the attack – the Iranian striker has a lot of experience on the highest level.
