Barcelona are set to face Atletico Madrid tonight in a potentially decisive match in the La Liga title race. Ahead of the showdown, the club has confirmed its final squad list for the encounter against Diego Simeone’s side.
Barcelona Squad to Face Atletico Madrid
Ansu Fati has been left out once again by Hansi Flick, signaling the manager’s diminishing confidence in the young forward. Meanwhile, key absentees include Marc-André ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, and Andreas Christensen, who remain unavailable.
With the stakes high, Flick is expected to field his strongest possible lineup. Pau Cubarsí is likely to return to action after missing the midweek Champions League clash against Benfica due to suspension. His inclusion could push Ronald Araújo to the bench, though Flick might also opt to rest Iñigo Martínez instead.
Midfield changes are unlikely, but it remains to be seen whether Frenkie de Jong continues to be preferred over Marc Casadó.
Up front, Barcelona are set to stick with their attacking trio of Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski, and Lamine Yamal as they look to break down Atletico’s defense.
