"After securing a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo to reclaim their top spot in La Liga this past weekend, Barcelona will shift their focus to the final Champions League game in midweek. The Catalans are slated to take on FC Copenhagen, a game in which they must secure a win by a higher margin if they want to remain in contention for a top-eight finish. Heading into this game, though, Barcelona are without their two main midfielders in Pedri and Frenkie de Jong."
"Indeed, MARCA reports that Flick could deploy a 4-3-3 formation this midweek, with Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez operating as attacking midfielders, while Eric Garcia could occupy the holding midfield spot. It appears Flick is well aware of the fact that Fermin and Olmo have both emerged as two of Barcelona's most in-form players right now, playing a part in each of Barcelona's victories this year."
Barcelona reclaimed the top spot in La Liga with a 3-0 win over Real Oviedo and now face FC Copenhagen in the final Champions League group game. The team needs a higher-margin victory to remain in contention for a top-eight finish. Pedri is ruled out for a month with a fresh injury, and Frenkie de Jong is suspended after accumulating three yellow cards. Hansi Flick may adopt a 4-3-3 formation, using Dani Olmo and Fermin Lopez as attacking midfielders and Eric Garcia as a holding midfielder. Fermin has three goals and six assists this year; Olmo has three goals and one assist.
