After a success against Newcastle (1-2) then a defeat against PSG (1-2), FC Barcelona returns to the Champions League with the arrival of Olympiakos in Montjuic, this Tuesday afternoon (kick-off 6:30 p.m.). Five days before the Clasico, the Blaugranas must cope without Gavi, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski in particular.
Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford are thus accompanied by Fermin Lopez as well as the 17-year-old winger Pedro Fernandez, called Dro. This prodigy from La Masia, Galician of Filipino origin, already started in La Liga last month against Real Sociedad. Rashford should play at the forefront of the attack.
Ronald Araujo, Frenkie De Jong, Roony Bardghji and Ferran Torres find themselves on the sidelines. Toni Fernandez, right winger also aged 17, announced as a starter, is finally on the bench.
Barça without its number 1
Hansi Flick can line up a typical defense with Jules Koundé, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde. Wojciech Szczesny remains the goalkeeper of the moment in the absence of Joan Garcia and Marc-André ter Stegen.
The Piraeus team is led by Gelson Martins and Ayoub El Kaabi in the offensive sector. French defender Giulian Biancone is not lined up from the start.
Barça's eleven: Szczesny – Koundé, Cubarsi, Eric Garcia, Balde – Casado, Pedri – Lamine Yamal, Dro, Fermin – Rashford.
