"Regardless of who starts up front, Barcelona have one clear objective, which is to beat Olympiacos and extend their scoring streak in Europe's top competition. If Barcelona score against Olympiacos, they will have managed 23 consecutive Champions League games without failing to find the net."
"The last time they failed to score was in a 0-1 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk in Hamburg on November 7, 2023. Since then, they have racked up 58 goals in 22 Champions League matches, with a record of 13 wins, three draws, and six defeats. For Flick and his team, keeping the streak alive is about more than just records."
Barcelona have begun the 2025/26 season below last season's standards, with injuries significantly affecting squad options. Robert Lewandowski faces another three weeks out while Ferran Torres is being carefully managed to be fit for El Clasico. No fully fit number 9 is available, increasing the likelihood of Marcus Rashford leading the line against Olympiacos. The immediate objective is to beat Olympiacos and continue a scoring run in the Champions League. The current streak dates back to a 0-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk on November 7, 2023, during which Barcelona have scored 58 goals in 22 matches.
