Where to watch Barcelona vs Antwerp live stream, TV channel, lineups, odds for Champions League

Barcelona's 2023/24 Champions League campaign starts with a home tie against Belgian club Royal Antwerp on September 19.

Xavi's side secured their first Liga title since 2019 last term, but the former midfielder has been open about his frustrations in European competition since his return to Catalonia. 

His young team are unbeaten in league action so far this season, including an impressive 5-0 victory over Real Betis last weekend. They'll now want to translate that form into the Champions League group phase, the stage in which they crashed out last time around.
