In the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona will play away against Newcastle. For the Catalan club, this match is a real test in a "playoff mood": pressure, tempo, and physical struggle in England will always be separate.
Before this clash, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick announced the final squad for the match against the Crows. The list includes a number of key names, especially the offensive line appears to be quite "illuminated."
The following players were included in the final standings:
- Goalkeepers: Joan Garcia, Shesni, Kochen.
- Defenders: Cancelo, Araujo, Cubarsi, Gérard Martin, Eric Garcia, Cortés, Espart.
- Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Fermin Lopez, Bernal, Casado, Olmo, Marquez.
- Forwards: Ferran Torres, Lewandowski, Yamal, Rafinha, Rashford, Bardakchi.
For information, Gavi will not play in this match. However, he traveled to England with the team. This usually means two things: firstly, maintaining the psychological atmosphere and unity within the team; secondly, possibly - continuing the preparation process on site before the next games.
In short, Barcelona is ready for an away game, and Flick has finalized his squad. Now it's on the field: whoever properly "extinguishes" Newcastle's pressure gets one step closer to the next stage.
