There are no fresh injury concerns after the win against Mallorca, which is great news and allows Flick the freedom to pick his favorite team for this monster clash. There are still several players missing, however, as Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Ansu Fati (hamstring), Andreas Christensen (Achilles) and Marc Bernal (knee) are out due to injury while Ronald Araujo (hamstring) is back in training but continues to wait for his medical green light.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Peña; Kounde, Cubarsi, Iñigo, Balde; Casado, Gavi; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 4.15pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 3.15pm GMT (UK), 10.15am ET, 7.15am PT (USA), 8.45pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
