Barcelona vs. Antwerp are measured this Tuesday, September 19, within the framework of the first date of the UEFA champions league. This match, which will mark the debut of the culé squad in the popular continental competition, is agreed to be played at the Olympic Stadium. In this note from Depor we will let you know all the details you need to know so that you don’t miss the broadcast of the match: what time they play, times in the world and which channels will broadcast this great game.
The Barça club, current league champion, faces the match lively after its latest results that keep it in second place in the Spanish championship, two points behind Real Madrid. “It is an illusion to return to this competition, it is time to take a step forward in European competition,” said Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, this Monday.
“I think it is the perfect scenario, we arrived at a good time. Last year we were good in the national competition, but not in Europe. “It is the competition to take the final step,” added the Barça coach.
The elimination of the Barça club in the group stage in the last two seasons was a hard blow that the Catalans hope to leave behind this campaign. “The discomfort that has existed in Europe in recent years must be removed as soon as possible,” said Barça midfielder Oriol Romeu, one of the latest additions that have reinforced the team along with Ilkay Gundogan or the Portuguese Joao Cancelo and Joao Félix.
The two Portuguese players made their debut as starters and scorers on Saturday in the 5-0 win over Betis, which could lead Xavi to count on them again on Tuesday at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium, Barça’s temporary home while they take the remodeling works of the Camp Nou are carried out.

Antwerp, for its part, will go to the Olympic Stadium after beating Westerlo 3-0 on Saturday, placing itself at the top of the Belgian championship. “It is the first time we participate in the Champions League and it is going to be extremely complicated,” Van Bommel acknowledged this Monday, pointing out that “we do not have to be afraid, just play as we have been preparing all year.”
The Belgians appear on paper as the weakest team in the bracket, but they have some qualities such as their scoring ability. Van Bommel’s men have scored 13 goals in six league games, of which five have come from Vincent Janssen, who is emerging as the danger that the Barça defense will have to watch out for.
