Because of the unrest in Catalonia the club decided to make this trip a day earlier, which meant more players on the plane and more doubts about who’s available. Samuel Umtiti and Junior Firpo have been given the medical clearance and might be on the squad, but they could also be two of the four players cut from the final matchday roster. Also out for this one are Gerard Piqué and Ousmane Dembélé (suspension).

Predicted starting XI (4-3-3):

Ter Stegen; Semedo, Todibo, Lenglet, Alba; De Jong, Busquets, Arthur; Messi, Suárez, Griezmann

The match kicks off at 1pm CET (Barcelona), 12pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 7am ET, 4am PT (USA), 4.30pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.

VISCA EL BARÇA!
