Barça is preparing for its tenth game in the Champions League, where the visit to HBKøge in Denmark is presented as an opportunity to consolidate its dominance in the group stage and get closer to the quarterfinals. The day, scheduled for 9:00 p.m. on Disney+, it will also be a historic moment for two players on the team: Caroline Graham and Ewa Pajor.
Caroline Graham, who has already played 99 games in the competition, would have her centenary if she enters the match against the Danes. Only three footballers have reached that number of appearances in the Champions League, among them WendieRenard, AlexandraPopp and EugénieLeSommer. The longevity of Graham, who has been a key player in the defense since the beginning of his time at the club, would be reflected in this milestone.
For her part, Polish attacker EwaPajor, with 47 goals in her European career, would move closer to fifth position in the historical ranking of top scorers. If she manages to score in the duel, she would equal ConnyPohlers and remain in the race for second place, only behind AnjaMittag. Its current streak, with ten goals in the last seven editions, places it in a favorable position to continue climbing the table.
Barça, which already has three consecutive victories in the group stage, has maintained an impressive record in the last 23 Champions League games, with twenty wins, two draws and only one defeat. The visit to HBKøge, which has won convincingly at home and maintains a streak of seven games without losing, will be a challenge, but PereRomeu's team arrives as favorites. A victory would not only consolidate their leadership in the table, but would also bring them closer to overtaking historical teams such as Arsenal and Wolfsburg in the win count. With the possibility of reaching 83 total victories, Barça could surpass the London team, as long as they do not lose the day before against Benfica.
