The team managed by Pere Romeu secured the top spot after defeating Paris (0-2) in the final matchday, granting them a direct pass to the quarter-finals, skipping the preliminary play-off round. The draw will be broadcast online starting at 13:00 CET.
Other potential direct rivals for the Catalan side, who are already qualified, include Juventus of Turin, Wolfsburg, and Paris FC. However, attention is focused on the possibility of a new European Clásico against Real Madrid.
Real Madrid must face a preliminary play-off, but if they succeed, there is a 25% chance they will face Barça in the quarter-finals.
Real Madrid finished seventh and must play the access play-off against either Wolfsburg or Paris FC. Should they advance, they will face either Barça or Olympique Lyonnais, the two top seeds. The quarter-final ties will be played on March 24 or 25 (first leg) and April 1 or 2 (return leg in Barcelona), repeating the format of 2022, when the Clásico set a world attendance record at the Camp Nou.
