Barcelona vs Aston Villa Competition – Champions League Stadium: Spotify Camp Nou Date: 3rd November 2026 Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT
Barcelona and Aston Villa have not met in a competitive fixture since January 1983, when Villa won the Super Cup after extra time. More than four decades on, the sides meet again at Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday night in the Champions League league phase. Villa arrive second in the table after three straight wins in the competition, with Barcelona eighth. Both played on Saturday, with Barcelona beating Alaves 6-1 and Villa drawing 1-1 with Fulham. Kick-off is at 8pm GMT.
Saturday’s 6-1 home win over Alaves ended a two-game losing run for Barcelona. Before it, they lost 2-1 at home to Real Madrid in the league, and five days earlier went down 4-2 at PSG in the Champions League. The two oldest results were both away wins, 5-2 at Betis and 4-1 at Galatasaray in Europe. That makes three wins and two defeats, with 18 goals scored and 10 conceded, and Barcelona have scored at least once in every game. The defeat to Real Madrid at Spotify Camp Nou is their only home loss in the sample.
Villa’s last five read three wins, a draw and a defeat, with seven goals scored and six conceded. Saturday’s 1-1 home draw with Fulham was the latest, three days after a 3-0 defeat at Bournemouth that knocked them out of the EFL Cup. Before those two, they won three in a row: 2-1 at home to Manchester City, 3-1 against Viking in the Champions League and 1-0 at Newcastle. The Bournemouth defeat is the only game in the sample in which Villa failed to score.
This fixture belongs to another era, with all four meetings in the sample dating from 1978 and 1983. Barcelona won two of them and Villa one, with one draw. The most recent was a 3-0 Villa win at home after extra time in January 1983, which won them the Super Cup, a week after Barcelona had won 1-0 in Barcelona. In their 1978 European tie, Barcelona won 2-1 at home to go through, two weeks after a 2-2 draw in Birmingham. Barcelona have won both of their home meetings with Villa.
Aston Villa sit second in the league phase on nine points from three games, with Barcelona eighth on six. A Villa win would take them to 12 points and top of the table on current standings, while a Barcelona win would lift them to nine, level on points with the top five.
