The fourth round of group stage games in the UEFA Women’s Champions League will feature Barcelona Femeni playing at home against Rosengard Women. The fixture is the return leg of their Matchday 3 clash in Malmo, Sweden, which ended with a 6-0 victory for the Blaugrana.
The Blaugrana currently sit at the top of the group with 9 points after winning their last three games against Benfica (5-0), Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1), and Rosengard (6-0). A win for Barcelona Femeni would guarantee their place in the knockout stages of the competition and extend their lead at the top of the group’s standings.
Head-to-head
Barcelona Femeni and FC Rosengard will be facing each other for the sixth time when they clash in the UWCL tomorrow night, with Barcelona winning all of their last five encounters. Both sides were drawn into the same group in the competition’s previous edition where Barcelona defeated the Swedish side 4-1, and 6-0 over both legs.
The ongoing edition of the Champions League saw the first leg of this fixture take place in Malmo a week ago and Barcelona completely dominated the game grabbing a 6-0 win in the process.
Matchday Squad
The club has released a 20-man squad list for the European clash against Rosengard, and the list can be found on the club’s official X account and other official social media pages.
