Despite Barça's 4-0 victory in the first leg, Jules Koundé continues in the starting eleven against Dortmund, this Tuesday evening in the quarterfinals return from the Champions League.

Hansi Flick does not take lightly the quarter -final return of the Barça Champions League against Borussia Dortmund, this Tuesday evening in Germany (9 p.m., live on Canal+ Sport). The Blaugranas won 4-0 in Montjuïc last week but play almost with their typical team against the BVB for the second round. Jules Koundé is therefore aligned from the start.

The French international, intractable this season in La Liga as in the European Cup, is faithful to the post to the right of the Catalan defense. The player trained in Bordeaux continues his 15th tenure in club and selection. His German coach had aligned Hector Fort against Rayo Vallecano on February 17 to bring his French international before the last 20 minutes.

Only Inigo Martinez, Pedri and Ferran Torres start on the sidelines. Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo form the central hinge, while Gerard Martin is established on the left in the absence of Alejandro Balde. Fermin Lopez will evolve in support from Robert Lewandowski, with the Lamine Yamal and Raphinha feu-follets on the wings.

Koundé Face Guirassy and Adeyemi

On the Dortmundian side, Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi will try to feed their center-forward Serhou Guirassy, ​​author of 15 goals in Bundesliga and 10 in LDC this season. Niko Kovac is deprived of Marcel Sabitzer, Emre Can, Carney Chukwuemeka and Marcel Sabitzer.

The eleven of Dortmund: Kobel – Süle, Anton, Bensebaini – Couto, Gross, Nmecha, Svensson – Adeyemi, Guirassy, ​​Beier.

The eleven of Barça: Szczesny – Koundé, Cubarsi, Araujo, Gerard Martin – De Jong, Gavi – Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha – Lewandowski.
