November promises to be an intense and defining month for FC Barcelona, as the Catalan giants face a series of crucial fixtures across all competitions. With LaLiga heating up and the Champions League group stage reaching its decisive moments, the coming weeks could shape the rest of Barça’s 2025/26 campaign.

Mid-November brings another key domestic encounter as Barcelona travels to Real Sociedad, one of LaLiga’s most disciplined and well-drilled teams.
