Mansion Sports – Barcelona will be aiming to secure a place in the knockout stage of the 2025/2026 Champions League when they host Copenhagen.

This match is scheduled to take place at Camp Nou on Wednesday, 28 January 2026 at 21:00 local time.

The Catalan club currently sit in ninth place in the Champions League standings with the same number of points (13) as the three teams above them, while their opponents are stuck in 26th position.

The Danish side are still striving to secure a spot in the knockout phase playoffs in order to continue their journey in this competition.

Before the match kicks off, let us take a look at the recommendations from Mansion Sports for where to watch Barcelona vs Copenhagen January 2026 so as not to miss the exciting action.

Conditions of Both Teams Ahead of the Match

Barcelona

Barcelona have recorded four wins, one draw, and two defeats from their seven matches in the 2025/2026 Champions League league phase.

The tally of 13 points places them in ninth position, just narrowly outside the automatic qualification zone.

Hansi Flick’s side, in their current situation, must go through the knockout phase playoffs in order to reach the round of 16.

However, they have the same number of points as Chelsea in eighth position, Newcastle United in seventh place, and Paris Saint-Germain who sit in sixth.

As expected, the calculation system for the standings on the final matchday is quite complex. Nevertheless, Barcelona require a victory to maintain their chances of finishing in the top eight, and that is the main message from Flick to his players, to claim all three points and then see whether that result is sufficient.

Barcelona have once again shown sharpness in attack by scoring 18 goals from seven matches. However, they have also conceded 13 goals in the league phase, the joint-highest tally among the top 15 teams, and this is certainly a serious concern for the club moving forward.

The hosts come into this match on the back of a 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo, a result that returned them to the top of the La Liga standings, ahead of Real Madrid.

Regarding squad conditions for the hosts, Barcelona are confirmed to be without Ferran Torres, Gavi, Pedri, and Andreas Christensen for Wednesday night’s match due to injury.

In addition, Frenkie de Jong is also absent due to a suspension for yellow card accumulation after receiving a crucial booking against Slavia Prague.

Marc Casado has a chance to retain his place in midfield to fill the void, and is likely to be accompanied by Eric Garcia. In defense, Gerard Martin is expected to feature alongside Pau Cubarsi.

In attack, Dani Olmo may not be included in the starting eleven. Fermin Lopez, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha are expected to operate behind Robert Lewandowski, given that Torres must remain sidelined for at least one more match due to a muscle problem.

Copenhagen

Meanwhile, Copenhagen have recorded two wins, two draws, and three defeats from seven Champions League matches this season.

The eight points they have collected place them in 26th position, with the same number of points as four teams above them.

The Lions will qualify for the playoff round if they manage to defeat Barcelona, provided that at least two of the nine other teams with eight, nine, or 10 points fail to obtain the results they need.

This challenge is clearly not an easy one for Jacob Neestrup’s side. However, they have managed to collect seven points from their last three matches in the competition, with victories over Kairat and Villarreal, as well as a 1-1 draw against Italian champions Napoli in the final league phase match.

Copenhagen have been on a winter break since December, with their last league match taking place on 7 December against Sonderjyske.

Nevertheless, they played a friendly match against B.93 on 23 January and secured a 3-2 victory over their fellow Danish side.

The Lions have previously faced Barcelona twice in the Champions League, during the 2010/2011 group stage. La Blaugrana won 2-0 at home, while the match in Denmark ended in a 1-1 draw.

Regarding squad conditions from the Copenhagen side, experienced midfielder Thomas Delaney must be absent after receiving a red card against Napoli on the final matchday.

Rodrigo Huescas and Magnus Mattsson are also confirmed to be sidelined due to injury, but aside from those two players, the visitors are in relatively good condition to face the match at Camp Nou.

Jordan Larsson has scored eight goals and provided four assists from 35 appearances for Copenhagen this season, and the 28-year-old player is expected to be included in the starting lineup for this match.
