Barcelona take to the pitch at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys in a little over an hour in search of their first UEFA Champions League win of the season as they face Young Boys.
Having lost to AS Monaco in their opening fixture of the competition, Hansi Flick & co. will be gunning for a victory tonight, more so after suffering a defeat in their most recent fixture vs Osasuna in La Liga.
With the game set to kick off in an hour or so, Flick has announced the Barcelona starting lineup that will be facing the Swiss club.
Having rested key players like Lamine Yamal and Raphinha over the weekend, the manager has recalled them to the side tonight.
Yamal takes up his usual position on the right while Raphinha is set to slot in centrally as Ferran Torres gets the nod on the left flank. Robert Lewandowski continues as the No. 9.
Meanwhile, Marc Casado also returns to the lineup after being rested against Osasuna. He replaces Eric Garcia, who is out with suspension, and pairs up with Pedri in the double pivot.
Inigo Martinez and Alejandro Balde are back in the side as well, at the expense of Sergi Dominguez and Gerard Martin. Jules Kounde and Pau Cubarsi complete the defence that shields Inaki Pena in goal.
