"Barcelona's attacking power under Hansi Flick has been one of the defining traits of his tenure. Goals have not been a problem for this Barça side, even at times when the defensive structure has looked shaky. The sheer firepower in the frontline has consistently balanced out any shortcomings at the back, turning the team into one of the most dangerous offensive units in Europe since he has arrived."
"However, with the squad finally returning to full fitness, Flick now faces a dilemma that every coach simultaneously dreams of and dreads - choosing who starts. With a crucial UEFA Champions League clash against Chelsea on the horizon, the Barcelona manager must reduce a long list of elite forwards to just three starters, inevitably leaving out players who are more than capable of leading the line themselves."
Barcelona possesses extraordinary attacking firepower under Hansi Flick, frequently compensating for moments of defensive weakness. The squad's return to full fitness creates a selection dilemma as only three forwards can start. Lamine Yamal has become indispensable after an explosive rise. The central role is closely contested, with Ferran Torres gaining momentum and Robert Lewandowski providing experience, leadership and goals. The left wing decision between Marcus Rashford, recently recovered and in strong form, and Raphinha, returning from injury and valued for prior productivity, complicates lineup choices ahead of the Chelsea clash.
