Barcelona's Key Doubt Ahead of Bayern Clash in Champions League
As Barcelona gets ready to take on Bayern in the Champions League, they must resolve a last-minute injury concern. Following a decisive victory over Sevilla (5-1), Barcelona faces Bayern, a team they have struggled against in years past. Coach Hansi Flick must select the optimal lineup, with Eric Garcia's unexpected injury prompting changes to the initial formation.
With the return of injured players like Gavi and Fermín, the coach has multiple tactical paths to explore. The most logical choice to fill in would be De Jong, but it could also be Fermín López, potentially shifting Pedri back to support Casadó in a double pivot. The expected starting eleven, barring any surprises, could be as follows: Iñaki Peña; Koundé, Cubarsí, Uñigo, Balde; Casadó, Pedri, Fermín; Lamine, Lewandowski, and Raphinha.
