Slavia Prague host Barcelona in a crucial UEFA Champions League League Phase Matchday 7 clash at Fortuna Arena, Prague, on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 (kick-off 20:00 CET).
Barcelona, under Hansi Flick,
sit 15th with 10 points from six games and desperately need a win to stay in contention for a direct top-8 spot and avoid the play-offs. A victory here, followed by their final home game against Copenhagen, could secure their path.
Slavia Prague languish near the bottom with just 3 points, winless in the competition, having struggled for goals and conceded heavily.
The Czech champions have not played competitively since mid-December due to their league's winter break, potentially giving them freshness but also rustiness. They've shown little threat in Europe, failing to score in recent outings and holding a poor defensive record. Barcelona arrive after a frustrating domestic loss to Real Sociedad snapped an 11-game winning streak, but their European form has been stronger overall.

Barcelona miss teenage star Lamine Yamal through suspension (yellow card accumulation) and Ferran Torres with a hamstring injury. Long-term absentees include Andreas Christensen and Gavi. Raphinha returns from a minor issue and will shoulder much of the attacking load alongside Robert Lewandowski, who seeks his first goal against Slavia. Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and others should feature in a strong lineup.
Slavia have a near-full squad, with only long-term injuries to Matous Srb (ankle) and Dominik Javorcek (knee). Manager Jindřich TrpišovskÝ can field key attackers like Tomáš ChorÝ and Lukáš Provod, aiming to exploit home advantage and counter-attack.
