Barcelona Femeni gears up for European action against FC Rosengard away in their third UWCL group stage game, following clashes with Benfica and Eintracht Frankfurt this season.
The Blaugrana currently sit at the top of the group after winning their last two games against Benfica (5-0) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1). Rosengard is yet to win a single game in the group stages and would be looking for a win to turn their fortune around, while a win for Barcelona would further cement their position at the top of the group’s standings.
Head-to-head
Barcelona Femeni and FC Rosengard will be facing each other for the fifth time when they clash in the UWCL tomorrow night, with Barcelona winning all of their last four 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.
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.
