"Having lost the first leg at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano 4-0, the Blaugrana are staring at a huge challenge tonight at the Spotify Camp Nou. And, manager Hansi Flick has made a few changes to the team that started against Villarreal in La Liga over the weekend."
"Pedri makes his first start after recovering from his injury, featuring in the middle of the park alongside Marc Bernal. Dani Olmo makes way for his compatriot. Meanwhile, Joao Cancelo also gets the nod, with Flick going in with the veteran defender over Alejandro Balde at left-back."
"Gerard Martin also comes into the team, replacing Eric Garcia, who is suspended for the game. Jules Kounde and Pau Cubarsi complete the Barcelona backline, shielding Joan Garcia in goal. Ferran Torres starts at centre-forward in Robert Lewandowski's absence but will need to be more clinical in front of goal."
