Bar\u00e7a returned to debut with a victory away from home in the Champions League for the first time in two decades, thanks to Marcus Rashford’s double against Newcastle (1-2)<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona<\/strong> ended a two-decade streak without away wins on an opening day of the UEFA Champions League<\/strong>. On Thursday, the team led by Hansi Flick<\/strong> defeated Newcastle (1-2)<\/strong> thanks to a double from Marcus Rashford<\/a> at St. James’ Park.<\/p>

The Catalans went from less to more in a very physical match with multiple chances in both areas. Joan Garc\u00eda<\/a> appeared with a great save against Barnes in the first half to keep the score at zero, and in the second half, two great goals from ‘Rashy’ paved the way for the Blaugrana victory.<\/p>

A recent anomaly in the Champions League, since in the last 20 seasons Bar\u00e7a has only debuted as a visitor in the tournament on five occasions<\/strong>. In the previous four, the balance was three draws and one defeat.<\/p>

Flick’s Bar\u00e7a breaks a long streak of failed away debuts in the Champions League<\/h2>

Since 2005\/06, Barcelona had not started a Champions League edition winning away. It was in 2005\/06, against Werder Bremen (0-2)<\/strong>, a match where the team then led by Frank Rijkaard won with goals from Deco and Ronaldinho (0-2) in Germany.<\/p>

Since then, 20 years have passed and the Blaugrana team has only debuted in the tournament away from home on four occasions. The first was in the 2009\/10 season<\/strong>, where the ‘Cul\u00e9s’ started by drawing goalless against Jos\u00e9 Mourinho’s Inter (0-0).<\/p>

After that, six years passed to see Bar\u00e7a again as a visitor on an opening day of the Champions League. In 2015\/16, the Catalans returned to Italy to visit Roma (1-1)<\/a>, a match that the locals equalized thanks to a lapse by Ter Stegen and a surprising long-range shot by Nainggolan.<\/p>

In 2019\/20, Bar\u00e7a traveled to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on the first day. The team then led by Ernesto Valverde rescued a draw (0-0)<\/a> in a match dominated by the Germans where ‘Matts’ was a key player.<\/p>

And, last season, in Hansi Flick’s debut in the Champions League, the Blaugrana team fell against Monaco (2-1)<\/a> in a match conditioned by a mistake by Ter Stegen and the early expulsion of Eric Garc\u00eda. Lamine Yamal scored the partial equalizer, but the locals took the victory with goals from Akliouche and Ilenikhena.<\/p>
