Overview

• Kickoff is set for 21:00 CET (3:00 p.m. ET) at the 6,000‑seat Estadi Johan Cruyff due to the postponed reopening of the renovated Spotify Camp Nou.
• Barcelona are without Gavi (knee, possible surgery), Frenkie de Jong (muscle), Alejandro Balde (hamstring) and long‑term absentee Marc‑André ter Stegen (back).
• The champions enter with seven points from three away matches after a 1-1 draw at Rayo Vallecano; Valencia have four points and beat Getafe 3-0 last time out.
• Coverage includes streaming on ESPN+ in the U.S. and Premier Sports in the U.K., with regional broadcasters carrying the match in Spain and elsewhere.
• UEFA has partially upheld Barcelona’s appeal, clearing Hansi Flick and assistant Marcus Sorg to be on the bench for the club’s Champions League opener.
