Barcelona was drawn against Newcastle United in the Champions League round of sixteen at UEFA’s headquarters in Nyon. The February 27 draw scheduled the opening leg at St James’ Park on March 10, followed by the return at Spotify Camp Nou on March 18.

The clubs had already met during the league phase, when two Marcus Rashford goals gave Barcelona a 2–1 away victory. Hansi Flick’s side now faces another trip to Newcastle for the knockout tie.

The draw also established the remaining bracket. The winner will meet either Atlético Madrid or Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals, while Sporting, Bodø/Glimt, Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen occupy the same semi-final pathway.
