"The Blaugrana lost the first leg 4-0 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano and will need to pull off an improbable comeback against Diego Simeone's men tonight. With only a few hours left for kickoff, manager Hansi Flick has announced the squad list of players who will be available at his disposal for selection."
"There are no major surprises in the squad apart from the inclusion of young midfielder Tommy Marques, who is called up amidst the absence of Frenkie de Jong and Gavi. Eric Garcia also misses out due to suspension, while Robert Lewandowski's eye socket injury rules him out of the contest as well."
"Up top, Ferran Torres' poor form raises some question marks over who could start as the No. 9, with Dani Olmo operating as a false nine being a realistic option."
