"[It's] is because of what I said after the Elche game. I saw many things I liked, and that's why I've decided to repeat the same starting eleven, because I believe in them. We've decided not to make any changes."
"They are gradually returning. They're not yet ready to play the entire match, perhaps 30 or 45 minutes."
"It will be a similar match to the one against Elche, a technically very good team. It will be difficult. They will press us one-on-one and we will have to play with confidence."
Barcelona will start the same eleven that beat Elche for the Champions League match against Club Brugge. The coach judged the Elche performance positively and opted not to change the starting lineup. Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski have returned to fitness but are not yet ready for a full match and are expected to come off the bench for roughly 30 to 45 minutes. Club Brugge is expected to be a technically strong opponent likely to press one-on-one, requiring Barcelona to play with confidence to manage the game.
