Barcelona will compete against Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of her quarter -finals Champions League on Wednesday evening.
La Blaugrana welcome last season in Catalonia to get a valuable advantage next week before the second leg in Signal Iduna Park. Hansi Flick, who won all six meetings with the German side, has monitored a powerful impressive European campaign, which is probably not stopped by the inconsistent Dortmund.
Barca did not have many injury concerns before the first leg on Wednesday and will probably bring a similar starting line -up to the side that stumbled into a draw against Real Betis in La Liga last weekend.
So Barca was able to align against Dortmund.
GK: Wojciech Szczesny – Barca will be a strong favorite to triumph the week, but Dortmund is still an immense attack threat. Szczesny has to be aware of some impressive strikers.
RB: Jules Kounde – Counds could be the task on Wednesday to captivate the Maximilian Beier, shaped in shape, whereby Germany has achieved five target contributions in its last four games.
CB: Ronald Araujo – Araujo has the physicality that is necessary to deal with the mighty Serhou Guirassy, who scored twice a goal during the league phase in the 3-2 victory of Barca against Dortmund. The Uruguay defender missed this collision through injury.
CB: Pau Cubarsi – Commessi returns from suspension on Wednesday after he was sent with Benfica during the first stage of the last 16 tie. Such a mistake in the quarter -finals is likely to be punished.
LB: Alejandro Balde – Although Barca only manages a draw at the weekend, Balde was an impressive force against Betis. Dortmund has to compete in front of his overlapping runs.
DM: Frenkie de Jong – With Marc Casado, de Jong has been less calm in the past few weeks. Barca will be desperately desperate to keep the Dutch on the track.
DM: Pedri – – Dortmund will be in the engine compartment without Pascal Gross and Marcel Sabitzer, whereupon Barca strives to benefit. Pedri should guide the midfield with a few problems.
RW: Lamin Yamal – The early ripening wing player is rarely missing under the locks on big nights and Dortmund has to summon a special plan to suppress the insatiable Spaniard.
Am: Gavi – With Dani Olmo, who fails through injuries, Gavi can earn successive starts. The attacking midfielder was on the scoresheet during the Betis aunt on the weekend.
LW: Raphinha – Raphinha was only used by the bank against Betis, but will return to the starting line -up during the week. During this term, the Brazilian was relentless with 11 goals and five templates in just ten excursions in Europe.
ST: Robert Lewandowski – Lewandowski was also quite sharp on the continent. The former Dortmund striker has scored nine in ten games and will sink its old side next week.
