FC Barcelona have confirmed their starting XI for tonight’s UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.
Manager Hansi Flick has made key changes from the weekend’s victory over Real Sociedad. Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia start in central defence, replacing Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen, while Jules Kounde lines up at right-back for his 150th appearance. Gerard Martin retains his place at left-back.
Wojciech Szczesny makes just his second start of the season in goal. In midfield, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong form a double pivot, with Dani Olmo deployed as the playmaker ahead of them.
Lamine Yamal, fit again after injury, starts on the right wing in place of Roony Bardghji, while Marcus Rashford continues on the left with Raphinha still sidelined. Up front, Flick has opted for Ferran Torres over Robert Lewandowski as Barcelona prepare for one of their toughest tests of the campaign.
