The expected Barcelona squad before the match with Crvena Zvezda
Barcelona will meet Crvena Zvezda next Wednesday in the fourth round of the Champions League.
After beating Bayern Munich with a quadruple against a single goal, and beating Real Madrid with another quadruple also for nothing, Hans Flick is expected to rest some players in the game against Crvena Zvezda in Serbia.
Despite the technical humility of the opponent, it is expected to be a difficult match, especially since the Catalan team is playing away from home and in a land famous for its ferocity and difficulty as well.
German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen and Ronald Araújo, in addition to Christensen and Torres, are absent from the defensive line due to injury.
In the absence of ter Stegen, the main goalkeeper will be Pena, and Conde will also return to the right-back position of the team instead of the young Hector Fort, who participated mainly at the expense of the Frenchman against Espanyol in the derby.
Pau Cubarsí and Inigo Martinez are at the heart of the defence, with Alejandro Balde at left-back. Hans Flick seems to have settled on having Marc Casado and Pedretti in the dual axis position ahead of Dani Olmo in the playmaker position.
There is no change expected at the level of the attacking centers, the Barcelona trio is distinguished and the best in terms of scoring contributions and in the language of numbers.
