Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Atletico Madrid | UEFA Champions League | OneFootball

In a little over an hour, FC Barcelona will take on Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Ahead of kickoff, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup for the match, with a couple of notable changes made to the team that took the field against the same opponents on Saturday in La Liga.

Robert Lewandowski, for one, returns to the starting XI, occupying the No. 9 position after his match-winning goal off the bench against Atletico at the weekend.

It sees Dani Olmo moving back to the No. 10 position, with Fermin Lopez dropping to the bench after a minor injury scare during training earlier today.

Meanwhile, Jules Kounde makes his first start after recovering from a hamstring injury, coming into the team in the place of Ronald Araujo at right-back.

Joao Cancelo, Pau Cubarsi, and Gerard Martin keep their places in the defensive line that will shield Joan Garcia in the Barcelona goal.

In midfield, Pedri is once again paired up with Eric Garcia in the absence of Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal. Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford occupy the wide areas for the hosts.
