How will Barcelona line up against Eintracht Frankfurt in a must-win Champions League match?

Key Highlights

• Joan Garcia will also be good to go in goal after a slight injury scare at the weekend.

• As for Frenkie de Jong, as good as the Dutchman is and as fruitful as his partnership with Pedri has been in 2025, he may very well have to wait his turn on the bench for a while because Eric Garcia has simply been that good and is one of the very first names on the teamsheet these days. AttackFlick made a decision to save the legs of Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski for all 90 minutes at the weekend with the clear goal of having them fully fit to start this one, and we expect that to happen despite Ferran Torres’ hat-trick againt Betis.
• That would leave one spot open on the right wing, and we think Flick will reward Roony Bardghji’s excellent showing at the weekend with another start in this one to try and replicate the awesome chemistry between the young Swede and Lamine Yamal in Seville.
