Barça appears in Belgrade to face the fourth day of the Champions League in a great state of form and confidence, despite the bad second half in the derby. Hansi Flick repeated his call and the starting eleven against Red Star will not change much compared to the base he has been using. The unknown in the forecasts is the possible entry of Frenkie de Jong, after several games in which he has been increasing his minutes of participation.
It may be that Flick make some changeswith a view to managing the wear and tear of its players. Jules Koundé rested at the start against Espanyol, leaving his place to Hèctor Fort. It would remain, therefore, outside the hypothetical rotations. There aren’t likely to be many. The next match will be played on Sunday at 9:00 p.m., in Anoeta. It is a traditionally complicated scenario for Barcelona, but there is enough room for Flick to come out with all the gunpowder, or almost, in Belgrade. It is true that the visit to Anoeta is important, for the fight for LaLiga and to go into the break with good vibes, but the three points against Red Star They would also be invaluable in the Champions League.
Flick’s rotations
Thus, few rotations. If De Jong enters, the question is who will be sacrificed. In the immediately previous matches, Fermín has been chosen as the starter as a midfielder, being replaced by Frenkie in the Clásico. Dani Olmo was already a starter last Sundayin the derby, and with his double he would hardly be the one sacrificed if Frenkie entered. He can also play for Casadó (it is the change that was made against Espanyol, not with the best result) or for Pedri.
Separate the Frenkie, if he enters the elevenit is difficult for there to be other rotations and everything indicates that Flick will maintain the same structure of the last games
