New Barcelona manager Hansi Flick aims for a victory as his team faces Young Boys in their Champions League Gameweek 2 matchup today. Following a disappointing 2-1 loss to Monaco in their tournament opener, Barcelona’s recent form has been shaky, having suffered their first La Liga defeat of the season with a 4-2 setback against Osasuna over the weekend.
Barcelona will be up against Young Boys, who have struggled to replicate their successful form from last season’s Swiss Super League, winning only one of their first eight matches in the new domestic season and suffering a 3-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa in their opening Champions League match.
The match is scheduled for Tuesday, October 1, at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, kicking off at 9 p.m. CEST in Spain, which is 8 p.m. BST in the UK, 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 5 a.m. AEST in Australia on Wednesday.
