Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 3

Draws: 1

Barcelona have only played three competitive games against Olympiacos, with the first two of those three matches taking place in the 2017-18 Champions League group stage.

The Blaugrana, who were under the watch of Ernesto Valverde, claimed a 3-1 victory in their only previous home encounter against Olympiacos in October 2017.

A Dimitrios Nikolaou gifted Barcelona an 18th-minute lead, although Valverde's charges were dealt a setback when Gerard Pique was given his marching orders in the 42nd minute after picking up two yellow cards.

However, Olympiacos failed to capitalise on their numerical advantage, as Lionel Messi helped take the game away from the Greek side in the second period at Camp Nou.

The Barcelona legend scored direct from a free kick to make it 2-0, before he provided the assist for Lucas Digne to drive home a third in the 64th minute.

Nikolaou scored a consolation in stoppage time in an attempt to make amends for his own goal, but it did little to dampen Barcelona's mood in a victorious outing.

However, their mood was not as positive around two weeks later when they were held to a goalless draw at the Stadio Georgios Karaiskakis, although they still went on to win the group by a three-point margin.

Barcelona had no trouble finding the net eight years later as they produced a free-scoring display to clinch a 6-1 victory in the Champions League league phase in September 2025.

The game seemingly turned just before the hour mark when Santiago Hezze was sent off with Olympiacos trailing by a narrow 2-1 scoreline.

Fermin Lopez finished the match with his first senior hat-trick, while there was a brace for Marcus Rashford and a penalty goal for Lamine Yamal.
