Barcelona and FC Copenhagen both need a win in what looks set to be an absorbing Matchday 8 Champions League clash at Camp Nou on Wednesday.Â
Hansi Flick's hosts come into this match just outside the automatic qualification spots in 9th, level on 13 points but beneath Chelsea, Newcastle and PSG due to inferior goal difference.Â
The stakes are higher for Copenhagen, with the Danish giants in real danger of elimination in 26th position, two places outside the playoff zone, meaning it's win or bust for Jacob Neestrup's men.Â

How to watch every UEFA Champions League 2025-26 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally due to incorrectly applied blackout restrictions, you may need a different way to watch the game, and that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. Plus, it's a great idea when you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. Â
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So, if your internet provider or mobile carrier has assigned you an IP address that incorrectly indicates your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can resolve this issue by providing you with an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. Â
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you've got a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should ensure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks. Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions. Â
