UCL bracket: Who are Barcelona playing next in 2026 UEFA Champions League QFs after beating Newcastle?

Barcelona are through to the quarterfinals in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. Following the blowout 7-2 win (8-3 aggregate) over Newcastle in the round of 16, the Catalan side awaits confirmation on its next challenge.

After knocking an English team out of the tournament, Barcelona will face either another Premier League side or a fellow Spanish opponent. Barcelona will go up against the winner of the matchup between Tottenham Hotspur and Atletico Madrid.

Because Atleti defeated Tottenham by a score of 5–2 in the first leg, Barca can reasonably expect their next opponent in the UEFA Champions League to be Diego Simeone’s side. However, anything can happen, so the Spurs can’t be ruled out.
