This is Barça’s seventh consecutive quarter-final berth in the competition. The following is a list of stats and facts from Barça’s previous Champions League campaigns.
- The 2006/07 season was the most recent time Barça didn’t qualify for the quarter-finals. They were eliminated by Liverpool. The English team won 1-2 at the Camp Nou, and finished up progressing despite Eidur Gudjohnsen’s goal at Anfield (0-1).
- All of Barça’s rivals in the first knock-out round of the competition since the 2007/08 season have been different. Up until now, Barça have faced Schalke 04, Bayern, Arsenal Shakhtar Donetsk, Milan, PSG and Manchester City.
- The biggest result from this round happened in the 2010/11 season. Barça defeated Shakhtar Donetsk by 5-1 at the Camp Nou.
- Barça haven’t lost any of their last four quarter-final ties: They’ve won seven games and tied five.
- Four of the ties were played with the second leg at the Camp Nou, while the other two were played outside of Barcelona.
- Only on one occasion, last season against PSG, Barça didn’t need to win to reach the next round. The 2-2 result in Paris coupled with the 1-1 in Barcelona was enough to see Barça through.
- In addition, since the 2007/08 season to the 2012/13 season, Barça have qualified for the semi-finals or have won the competition.
