Official: FC Barcelona starting lineup against Benfica | UEFA Champions League | OneFootball

As Barcelona get set to take on Benfica in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie later today, manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup for the game.

The Blaugrana go into the game on the back of a 1-0 win in the first leg and will hope to get the job done with a strong lineup.

Robert Lewandowski, who was rested for the cancelled game against Osasuna, is back in the lineup, slotting in as the centre-forward. He pairs up with Lamine Yamal and Raphinha in the frontline for the Blaugrana.

Alejandro Balde, who suffered a knock in the first leg in Lisbon, is fit and starts at left-back. He is partnered by Jules Kounde, Inigo Martinez, and Ronald Araujo, who replaces the suspended Pau Cubarsi.

Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, and Dani Olmo start in the middle of the park with the likes of Gavi, Marc Casado, and Fermin Lopez benched.
