Barcelona and Copenhagen’s only two previous meetings came in the group stage of the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League – Barcelona won 2-0 in the home fixture thanks to a Lionel Messi brace, before drawing 1-1 in the reverse fixture in Denmark.

Copenhagen didn’t win any of their first 15 matches against Spanish teams in European competition (D6 L9), yet won their most recent one, versus Villarreal on MD6 of this season’s UEFA Champions League (3-2).
