Just minutes before Barcelona’s European night gets underway, Hansi Flick has made his final decisions. The official lineup is out, and several selections give the match a completely different feel.
Barcelona will face Feyenoord in their opening UEFA Champions League match of the season, with Rodri starting alongside Pedri in midfield and Dani Olmo operating ahead of them as the attacking midfielder.
Barcelona’s official starting XI:
Goalkeeper: Joan Garcia.
Defense: Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Andreas Christensen, Joao Cancelo.
Midfield: Rodri, Pedri, Dani Olmo.
Attack: Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Karim Adeyemi.
Barcelona will host Feyenoord at Spotify Camp Nou in their opening Champions League match, with kickoff scheduled for 18:45 CEST.
Flick’s decision to start Rodri and Pedri together gives Barcelona a strong combination of control and quality in midfield, while Dani Olmo will operate in an advanced role behind Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Karim Adeyemi.
In defense, Pau Cubarsi and Andreas Christensen form the central partnership, with Jules Kounde and Joao Cancelo occupying the full-back positions. Joan Garcia continues in goal.
The European night is officially underway, and Barcelona have now revealed all their cards before their first Champions League test of the season. The question now is simple: can this strong lineup produce a flying start against Feyenoord? 🔥
