FC Barcelona is set to face AS Monaco on September 19 at the Luis II Stadium, marking the beginning of their UEFA Champions League 2024/25 campaign. Under coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona has achieved an impressive start to the season, winning all five of their La Liga matches and scoring 14 goals in their last six road games. Meanwhile, Monaco, who remain unbeaten in Ligue 1 with three wins and a draw, will also pose a significant challenge, particularly after their recent 3-0 victory over Auxerre. However, Barcelona's squad faces some injury challenges, with key players like Gavi and Frenkie de Jong sidelined. Historically, Barcelona has had the upper hand in their encounters with Monaco, winning two out of three meetings. The match promises to deliver an exciting clash as both teams aim to maintain their strong starts to the season.
