"Diego Simeone was able to rest most of his starters on Saturday, a luxury Hansi Flick was not afforded given the importance of a win for the title race."
"Frenkie de Jong remains a major doubt and is unlikely to start even if he makes the squad, while Marc Bernal won't be available with a sprained ankle suffered in Madrid."
"Flick decided to rest Robert Lewandowski after a busy international break, and the Pole came off the bench to score the winner and prove why he's the man to lead the line on Wednesday."
Barcelona prepares for their Champions League quarter-final against Atlético Madrid at Camp Nou. Hansi Flick's lineup will be strong despite recent challenges. Ronald Araujo is available but unlikely to start, with Jules Kounde expected at right-back. Frenkie de Jong is a doubt, and Marc Bernal is unavailable due to injury. Eric Garcia may partner Pedri in midfield. Dani Olmo is favored for the number 10 role. Robert Lewandowski, rested previously, is set to lead the attack, supported by Marcus Rashford and Lamine Yamal on the wings.
