  • The 2006/07 season was the most recent time Barça didn’t qualify for the quarter-finals. They were eliminated by Liverpool. The English team won 1-2 at the Camp Nou, and finished up progressing despite Eidur Gudjohnsen’s goal at Anfield (0-1).

 

  • All of Barça’s rivals in the first knock-out round of the competition since the 2007/08 season have been different. Up until now, Barça have faced Schalke 04, Bayern, Arsenal Shakhtar Donetsk, Milan, PSG and Manchester City.
