Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid– Predicted lineup and team news
Barcelona host Atletico Madrid at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
The Catalan side comes into this clash in superb form, winning eight of their last nine games in all competitions.
Their latest triumph was a 2–1 win over Atletico on Saturday, sealed by a late Robert Lewandowski strike that extended their La Liga lead to seven points.
After comfortably beating Newcastle 8–3 on aggregate in the round of 16, Barcelona are full of confidence in its pursuit of both league and European glory.
Barcelona team news
Manager Hansi Flick continues to juggle injury concerns but has received some positive news ahead of the tie.
Ronald Araujo, who went off with a minor muscle issue at the weekend, has been passed fit to start and should partner youngster Pau Cubarsi in central defence.
Jules Kounde is also likely to return to the starting lineup after being rested recently. On the downside, Marc Bernal is sidelined with a Grade 1 ankle sprain picked up on Saturday, adding to the absences of Frenkie de Jong (thigh injury) and long-term casualty Andreas Christensen.
In attack, Raphinha’s hamstring injury from international duty rules him out, but Marcus Rashford is expected to take his place on the left wing alongside Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.
Barcelona predicted lineup
**Possible Barcelona starting XI:**J Garcia; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martin, Cancelo; E Garcia, Pedri; Yamal, Fermin, Rashford; Lewandowski.
When will the match kick off?
The match will kick off at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 8th April.

Q&A
Mit welcher Startelf könnte Barcelona gegen Atlético Madrid spielen?
Barcelona dürfte mit Wojciech Szczesny im Tor beginnen. Davor werden voraussichtlich Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin und Joao Cancelo verteidigen, während Eric Garcia und Pedri im Mittelfeld starten sollen. Im Angriff werden Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez und Marcus Rashford hinter Robert Lewandowski erwartet.
Wie ist die Personalsituation bei Barcelona vor dem Spiel gegen Atlético?
Barcelona kann wohl wieder auf Ronald Araujo setzen, der nach einer leichten Muskelbeschwerde fit gemeldet wurde. Ausfallen werden aber Marc Bernal mit einer Sprunggelenksverletzung sowie Frenkie de Jong und Andreas Christensen. Auch Raphinha fehlt wegen einer Oberschenkelverletzung, deshalb dürfte Marcus Rashford links beginnen.
