The XI of players called upon by Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick for the club’s latest outing reiterated his current favour for a pair of players over two others.
Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in short order.
In the headline fixture of the week on the continent, the Blaugrana have welcomed reigning tournament holders Paris Saint-Germain to Catalunya’s capital, for a Champions League clash.
Barca head into the matchup with sights on revenge, after being ousted from Europe’s top-tier club competition by PSG back in 2024.
And in efforts towards as much, Hansi Flick, as alluded to above, made clear once more the current first-choice pecking order in his squad.
First, at the back, Eric García has been favoured to Ronald Araújo, as Pau Cubarsí’s partner at centre-back.
And at the other end of the pitch, Robert Lewandowski, despite being fresh off a match-winning goal this past weekend, drops to the bench again.
Instead, Ferran Torres has been chosen as the man to lead Barcelona’s frontline against PSG.
