Official: Barcelona name strong XI to face Dortmund | OneFootball

The XI of players set to be depended upon by La Liga giants Barcelona to face off with Borussia Dortmund this evening has been unveiled online.

And it features, surprisingly, very few changes.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in short order, in a Champions League quarter-final 2nd-leg showdown with the aforementioned Dortmund.

The Blaugrana head into the matchup boasting heavy favourite status to advance, owing to a 4-0 rout in the tie’s opener in Catalunya’s capital last week.

With one foot already in the competition’s final four, and Barca still competing on three fronts, it may therefore come as something of a surprise to hear of Hansi Flick opting for a close to full-strength line-up.

Afforded starts at Signal Iduna Park are the likes of Jules Koundé, Frenkie de Jong, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski.

Also stepping back in, though, are Ronald Araújo, Gerard Martín, and Gavi.
