Barça come into this one missing a few key pieces as center-back Iñigo Martínez has been ruled out for around a month with a hamstring injury, and he joins Marc-André ter Stegen (knee) and Marc Bernal (knee) on the injured list. Wojciech Szczesny also misses out due to suspension, and Ansu Fati, who is no longer part of Flick’s plans, is left out of the squad completely.

Peña; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Balde; Casadó, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
