After a spectacular league phase, qualifying directly as second, the Catalans will face the Portuguese team in a two-legged tie with the home advantage.<\/p>  <p>The first leg will take place on March 4\/5&nbsp;of 2025 at the Est\u00e1dio da Luz in Lisbon, while the return leg will be on March 11\/12 of the same month at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys in Barcelona.<\/p>  <p>The&nbsp;<strong>dates of the two matches<\/strong>&nbsp;in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League 2024\/25 are as follows:<\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>First Leg:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, March 4 or Wednesday, March 5, 2025 at Est\u00e1dio da Luz (Lisbon)<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Return Leg:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, March 11 or Wednesday, March 12, 2025 at Estadi Llu\u00eds Companys (Barcelona)<\/li> <\/ul> <p>The team managed by Bruno Lage is a familiar face for the Blaugrana. Not long ago, this season, there was a visit from Bar\u00e7a to the Est\u00e1dio da Luz to face the &#8216;Eagles&#8217; in the qualifying phase for the knockout rounds. The match ended 4-5, with an epic comeback at the last moment, in favor of the Catalan entity.<\/p>  <h2>Benfica, an old acquaintance<\/h2>  <p>The Portuguese managed to overcome the Champions League playoffs after eliminating AS Monaco with an aggregate score of 4-3, defeating them in the Principality 1-0 and drawing 3-3 at Est\u00e1dio da Luz. Hansi Flick&#8217;s side already knows what it is like to face the Lisbon team in the current edition of the continental tournament and are aware of the difficulty of this matchup.<\/p>  <p>In the match between both teams on matchday 7 of the league phase, the Catalans achieved a brutal victory with a comeback that is now part of the competition&#8217;s history thanks to a goal from&nbsp;<strong>Raphinha&nbsp;<\/strong>in the last second of the match (4-5), so, after being paired, the tie promises great emotions.<\/p>  <h2>Benfica, the &#8216;easy&#8217; route<\/h2>  <p>The reality is that the Portuguese team was the preferred option for Liverpool and Bar\u00e7a. <strong>It is by no means an easy opponent<\/strong>, in fact, the Blaugrana struggled to defeat them. However, the possibility of PSG being the opponent made the Portuguese route the preferred one. Benfica is having an irregular season. They are currently <strong>second in Liga Portugal<\/strong>, just two points behind Sporting with Viktor Gy\u00f6keres. They are the champions of the League Cup and are in the quarter-finals of the Ta\u00e7a. They reached the Round of 16 after defeating Monaco in a hard-fought tie (4-3) and finishing 16th in the league phase, with <strong>4 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses.<\/strong><\/p>  <p>In the match against Hansi Flick&#8217;s team, what they are was evident. A team with very good offensive potential, despite barely being able to count on a struggling <strong>Di Mar\u00eda<\/strong>, who cannot be given any space. However, they are also a team that can falter due to <strong>individual errors and disconnections<\/strong>. They have a squad with very young players, typical of one of Europe&#8217;s major talent exporters. It is a team that forces you to maintain concentration throughout the match, as they <strong>do not forgive mistakes<\/strong>. Even so, it is the &#8216;easy&#8217; option for Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>  <h2>Matchups for the Round of 16:<\/h2>  <ol> <li>Benfica vs FC Barcelona<\/li> \t<li>PSG vs Liverpool<\/li> \t<li>Bruges vs Aston Villa<\/li> \t<li>Dortmund vs Lille<\/li> \t<li>PSV vs Arsenal<\/li> \t<li>Feyenoord vs Inter<\/li> \t<li>Atl\u00e9tico vs Real Madrid<\/li> \t<li>Bayern vs Leverkusen<\/li> <\/ol> <h2>When are the Round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals of the Champions League held?<\/h2>  <p>The&nbsp;<strong>dates of the matches<\/strong>&nbsp;for the knockout phases of the Round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League 2024\/25 are as follows:<\/p>  <p><strong>Round of 16<\/strong><\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>First Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, March 4 and Wednesday, March 5, 2025<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Return Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, March 11 and Wednesday, March 12, 2025<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>Quarter-finals<\/strong><\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>First Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, April 8 and Wednesday, April 9, 2025<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Return Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, April 15 and Wednesday, April 16, 2025<\/li> <\/ul> <p><strong>Semi-finals<\/strong><\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>First Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, April 29 and Wednesday, April 30, 2025<\/li> \t<li> <strong>Return Leg Matches:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tuesday, May 6 and Wednesday, May 7, 2025<\/li> <\/ul> <h2>When and where is the final of the UEFA Champions League 2024\/25 held?<\/h2>  <p>The final of the UEFA Champions League 2024\/25 will be played on&nbsp;<strong>Saturday, May 31<\/strong>&nbsp;at the Munich Football Arena (Munich, Germany).<\/p>  <ul> <li> <strong>\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f Date:<\/strong>&nbsp;Saturday, May 31, 2025<\/li> \t<li> <strong>\u23f0 Time:<\/strong>&nbsp;21:00 hours (CET)<\/li> \t<li> <strong>\ud83c\udfdf\ufe0f Stadium:<\/strong>&nbsp;Munich Football Arena (Munich, Germany)<\/li> <\/ul> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FC Barcelona will face Benfica in the Round of 16 of the Champions League 24\/25.
