The New Year is here and 2024 sees plenty of challenges ahead for the blaugranes both for club and country. We take a look at what the coming year has in store for Barça.
Spanish Super Cup
The blaugranes have a chance to lift their first piece of silverware with the Spanish Super Cup being played in early January. Xavi’s side face Osasuna on Thursday 11 January at 8pm CET in Saudi Arabia with a place in the final up for grabs against either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid on Sunday 14 January.
The Copa del Rey final
The next chance to claim a trophy comes on 6 April in the La Cartuja stadium in Seville where the 2024 Copa del Rey final will be played. The blaugranes kick off their cup campaign with a trip to Barbastro on Sunday 7 January at 9pm CET.
El Clásico
In the league Barça went down to defeat at home to Real Madrid back in October at the Estadi Olímpic but they have a chance to put things right in the Santiago Bernabéu on the weekend of the 20/21 April.
Champions League final
Another final Barça will be targeting is the Champions League showdown on 1 June at Wembley Stadium, a venue where the blaugranes have been victorious in the competition on two previous occasions. Xavi’s team have made it to the knock out stages for the first time in three seasons and will face Serie A side Napoli in their last 16 tie with the first leg to come in Italy on 21 February and the return at the Estadi Olímpic on 12 March.
2024 European Championships
In the summer of 2024 the European Championships will be held in Germany. The tournament begins on 14 June and ends on 14 July with the final in Berlin. As ever, Barça will have several players from their squad vying for glory with their respective national sides.
