The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana face Benfica in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Tuesday’s game:
Goalkeepers: 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric García, 32. Héctor Fort, 35. Gerard Martín
Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 14. Pablo Torre, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong
Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Víctor, 19. Lamine Yamal
Barça come into this one without Pau Cubarsí as the center-back is suspended thanks to his red card in the first leg, and he joins Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Andreas Christensen (calf) and Marc Bernal (knee) on the list of absences for this one. Cubarsí’s suspension leaves a spot open for Ansu Fati, who gets a rare chance to be in uniform.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Iñigo, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 6.45pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 5.45pm GMT (UK), 1.45pm ET, 10.45am PT (USA), 11.15pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
VISCA EL BARÇA!
