"Having secured a tricky 3-0 win over Real Oviedo over the weekend, Barcelona play host to FC Copenhagen in a massive UEFA Champions League clash on Wednesday night. The final matchday of the event sees all the games played concurrently to avoid any ambiguity and to level the playing field. After all, almost all teams are in contention to stay alive in the competition, with more than 15 teams theoretically in the running for a top-8 finish."
"Pedri left the field injured against Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic in what was a massive blow to Flick's plans. He is expected to be out for a month and is not an option tomorrow night. The second player who faced a setback in the same game was Frenkie de Jong. He was shown a yellow card and misses tomorrow's games through suspension for accumulation of cards."
Barcelona host FC Copenhagen in the final UEFA Champions League group-stage matchday after a 3-0 league win over Real Oviedo. The final matchday features all games played simultaneously and leaves many teams still mathematically able to finish in the top eight. Barcelona face a midfield crisis after Pedri suffered an injury that will sideline him for about a month and Frenkie de Jong is suspended following yellow-card accumulation. Manager Hansi Flick must replace both creative midfielders while maintaining control. Possible solutions include deploying Dani Olmo as an interior midfielder with Fermin Lopez in the attacking role, or starting Marc Casado or Marc Bernal.
