Official: Barcelona announce starting lineup against Bayern Munich

As Barcelona get set to take on Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League, manager Hansi Flick has released the starting lineup that will take the field tonight in Montjuic.

There is just one change made to the team that started the weekend La Liga clash against Sevilla and it comes in the final third of the pitch.

Fermin Lopez, who came back from injury on Sunday, gets the nod over Ansu Fati for Barcelona tonight. He starts as the No. 10 ahead of Dani Olmo and Pablo Torre, with Raphinha moving out to the left flank.

Meanwhile, Robert Lewandowski spearheads the Barça attack against his former employers while Lamine Yamal slots in on the right side, where he will be in a battle with Alphonso Davies – a player that the Blaugrana are targeting for the summer.

Pedri and Marc Casado continue their partnership in the midfield double pivot for Barcelona, with Frenkie de Jong once again settling for a spot on the bench, along with recent injury returnee Gavi.

The defence also remains unchanged as Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, and Alejandro Balde protect Inaki Pena in the Catalans’ goal against Bayern Munich.
