History

FC Barcelona and Fiorentina have faced off before, albeit not recently. The last time they played each other was in a pre-season match at the Artemio Franchi back in 2008. Barça won that day by a score of 3–1. The sides have also clashed three times before in official competition — the first coming fifty years ago — with Barça winning all three.
