Araujo and ter Stegen. Their potential starting XI includes prominent figures like Lewandowski and Pedri. Conversely, Brest is expected to counter with a more defensive setup featuring Bizot in goal and Ajorque leading their attack. The tactical approaches of both teams could significantly influence the match outcome.
The biggest concern for Barcelona remains the fitness of winger Lamine Yamal. The teenage superstar is close to a return from his ankle injury but is not expected to make it back in time for this one, which comes as a huge blow as Flick's side are yet to win a game without him in the starting lineup.
Barcelona possible starting lineup: Pena; Kounde, Cubarsi, I Martinez, Balde; De Jong, Casado; Olmo, Pedri, Raphinha; Lewandowski
Brest possible starting lineup: Bizot; Lala, Chardonnet, Le Cardinal, Amavi; Camara, Lees-Melou, Fernandes; Balde, Ajorque, Doumbia

The Catalans’ goal tally of 15 scored and 5 conceded in the competition underscores their offensive capabilities but also points to some defensive vulnerabilities. Their 6th place position in the Champions League table reflects a solid start, but there’s room for improvement if they aspire to secure direct qualification to the knockout stages.
However, Barcelona’s campaign faces significant hurdles due to an injury crisis that has sidelined key players. EURO 2024 star Lamine Yamal, Ansu Fati, Araujo, and Ferran Torres are all out of action, depleting the team’s outfield options. The absence of goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who underwent surgery for a ruptured Patella tendon, further compounds their challenges.
Predictions suggest that Barcelona may secure a convincing victory with a forecasted scoreline of 3-1 . This anticipated result reflects not only their superior talent but also their strategic depth in navigating injuries. As fans eagerly await this clash, it promises to be an engaging display of skill and determination on the European stage.
