Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Borussia Dortmund | UEFA Champions League | OneFootball

After beating them 3-2 back in December, Barcelona will take on Borussia Dortmund for the second time in the ongoing season, this time in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

The Blaugrana will be hoping to take a significant advantage into the second leg at Signal Iduna Park next week by securing a big win at home later tonight.

Ahead of kickoff, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against Niko Kovac’s side.

There are a few changes made to the team that started in the 1-1 draw against Real Betis at the weekend.

For starters, Inigo Martinez returns to the lineup after missing the league game due to a minor injury. He partners Pau Cubarsi at the heart of the defence while Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde continue as the full-backs.

In midfield, Flick continues with the double pivot of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, but in a major call, Gavi, who scored at the weekend, has been left out on the bench in favour of Fermin Lopez, who starts as the No. 10.

Raphinha reclaims his starting berth on the left flank from Ferran Torres while Lamine Yamal and Robert Lewandowski complete the Barcelona frontline.
