Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund: kick-off time

Barca are regarded as one of the favourites to go all the way and lift European football’s biggest club prize for the first time in exactly a decade.

Hansi Flick’s side are unbeaten across all competitions so far in 2025 and are on course to complete a treble as they lead the way in the La Liga title race and will face Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final.

Dortmund – last season’s beaten finalists – are aiming to go one better this time around. And having recorded back-to-back wins in the Bundesliga since the international break, they at least go into the quarter-final first leg in decent form.

An added incentive for the German side is to avenge the 3-2 defeat from the league phase meeting against Barcelona earlier in the campaign as they eye a semi-final showdown against either rivals Bayern Munich or Inter Milan.

Date, kick-off time and venue
Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund is scheduled for a 8pm BST kick-off tonight, Wednesday, April 9, 2025.

The match will take place at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.

Barcelona vs Borussia Dortmund prediction:
It’s hard to look past Barcelona in any fixture given the form they’re in. Saturday’s draw with Real Betis, whilst a mini setback, did see them open up a four-point lead at the top of the La Liga table and Flick was able to rest a few key names with this game in mind.

Dortmund have been a mixed bag all season and whilst they have all the tools to give Barca a scare, quality will eventually prove decisive in this first leg showdown.
