In a recent update from SPORT, it appears that Hansi Flick faces a crucial decision regarding his lineup for the upcoming match against Sevilla.
The key uncertainty lies in selecting either Marc Casado or Pablo Torre to join Eric Garcia and Pedri in the midfield. This match is pivotal for Barcelona, who are aiming for their ninth victory in the league and looking to maintain their unbeaten record at Montjuic.

Unlike the recent match against Osasuna, where significant rotations were made, Barcelona cannot afford to take this match lightly. They need to field their strongest team to ensure they can approach the Madrid game with confidence.
The headache is real

Since Hansi Flick’s arrival, Montjuic has become a fortress for Barcelona. The German coach aims to build on this success as the team seeks another home win.
