defense
Barca have had a full week to rest, recover and prepare for this game, but are in for a monster game in the second leg against Atletico Madrid. Copa del Rey The semi-finals are just three days away, so Flick’s lineup decisions for this game may be affected by his plans for next Tuesday.
We’ve guaranteed at least one substitution in the backline since Gerard Martin’s suspension and we think he will be Paul Cubasi Who will be partners Eric Garcia in the middle. Jules Kunde Expected to retain his spot at right-back, we think Flick will reward Joao Cancelo He made his second consecutive start after being named man of the match against Levante last week.

midfield
There was some very bad news on Thursday, with Frenkie de Jong picking up an injury in training and the Dutchman’s absence will certainly be felt in the big games next month. thank god Pedri are back again, and we think The Witcher will be back too Mark Bernal In this double pivot. Fermín Lopez Dani Olmo is expected to start in tenth place, but Olmo and Fermin are not ruled out starting alongside Bernal if Flick decides to keep Pedri on the bench as a precaution.
attack
We expect Robert Lewandowski to start against Atletico on Tuesday, so it would be wise to rotate the Pole out of the wing and start in this game Ferran Torres in front, with Ramin Yamal and Rafinha Keep the spots on the wings.
possible eleven: Joan; Conde, Cubas, Eric, Cancelo; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Rafinha; Ferran (4-2-3-1)
