Here’s how we think Hansi Flick will line up his troops for Wednesday’s battle:

Defense

Barça have had a full week to recover physically and mentally after the European exit in Madrid, and Flick will be able to choose his strongest team for this one to get back to winning ways as soon as possible. We think the starting lineup for this one will be pretty similar to the one that played against Atlético, but we do expect one change at the back as **Pau Cubarsí** returns after missing the Champions League game through suspension, and he’ll partner **Gerard Martín** at center-back with **** and **** retaining their full-back spots.
