FC BARCELONA NEWS Cover for Thursday, August 28, 2025: <\/strong>After coming close to the final last season and falling short against Inter, FC Barcelona <\/a>will try their luck again in the group stage draw<\/a>, which will be held this Thursday, August 28 at 6:00 p.m.<\/strong> at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. <\/p>

The new format gives no respite: clubs ranked between 9th and 24th place after the league stage must compete in a play-off to secure a spot in the round of 16. Only the top 16 will have direct passage. From 25th to 36th, they won’t even be able to say goodbye: they will be out without the right to reply. For a Bar\u00e7a that wants to lead in Europe again, the group stage is no longer a formality, but the first assault of a battle with no margin for error.<\/p>
