As Barcelona look to book their place in the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup for their quarter-final second leg vs. Borussia Dortmund.
With a 4-0 win in the first leg, the Blaugrana have a big cushion heading into the game and will want to see things out without any shock slip-ups.
Despite that, Flick has made some interesting changes to the lineup, opting to rest key players like Pedri and Inigo Martinez, with the latter being only one yellow card away from suspension.
Replacing Pedri in midfield is Gavi, who starts after two games on the bench. He partners Frenkie de Jong in the double pivot, with the Dutchman returning to the team after a substitute appearance against Leganes at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo starts again in defence and is partnered by Pau Cubarsi in place of Inigo. Jules Kounde continues at right-back while Gerard Martin slots in on the left side following the injury to Alejandro Balde.
There are no changes in the attacking unit, however, with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Fermin Lopez, and Robert Lewandowski all retaining their places.
