The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana play a huge Champions League Round of 16 against Newcastle at Camp Nou looking to book a spot in the quarter-finals, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Wednesday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: 13. Joan Garcia, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
Defenders: 2. João Cancelo, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Pau Cubarsí, 18. Gerard Martín, 24. Eric Garcia, 36. Álvaro Cortés, 42. Xavi Espart

Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Lamine Yamal, 11. Raphinha, 14. Marcus Rashford, 19. Roony Bardghji
There are no fresh injury concerns after the win over Sevilla and no suspensions for this one, so Flick is able to call up the same 23 players from the weekend and the list of absentees remains the same as Alejandro Balde (hamstring), Jules Kounde (hamstring), Frenkie de Jong (hamstring) and Andreas Christensen (knee) are ruled out due to injury.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Joan; Eric, Cubarsí, Martín, Cancelo; Bernal, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
The match kicks off at 6.45pm CET/WAT (Barcelona & Nigeria), 5.45pm GMT (UK), 1.45pm ET, 10.45am PT (USA), 11.15pm IST (India), and you can join us to follow and comment all the action.
