The next Barcelona match is upon us! The _Blaugrana_ face Benfica in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Tuesday’s game:
**Goalkeepers**: 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen
**Defenders**: 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric García, 32. Héctor Fort, 35. Gerard Martín
**Midfielders**: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 14. Pablo Torre, 16. Fermín López, 17. Marc Casadó, 20. Dani Olmo, 21. Frenkie de Jong
**Forwards**: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Víctor, 19. Lamine Yamal
Barça come into this one without Pau Cubarsí as the center-back is suspended thanks to his red card in the first leg, and he joins Marc-André ter Stegen (knee), Andreas Christensen (calf) and Marc Bernal (knee) on the list of absences for this one. Cubarsí’s suspension leaves a spot open for Ansu Fati, who gets a rare chance to be in uniform.
**Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1)**:
Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Iñigo, Balde; De Jong, 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.
