Barcelona squad named for Dortmund first leg

BARCELONA, SPAIN – APRIL 08: Robert Lewandowski during FC Barcelona training session ahead of their UEFA Champions League, football match against Borussia Dortmund, at Ciudad Esportiva Joan Gamper on April 08, 2025 in Sant Joan Despi, Barcelona, Spain.

Barcelona will welcome Borussia Dortmund for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Wednesday’s game:

Goalkeepers: 13. Iñaki Peña, 25. Wojciech Szczesny, 31. Diego Kochen

Defenders: 2. Pau Cubarsí, 3. Alejandro Balde, 4. Ronald Araujo, 5. Iñigo Martínez, 15. Andreas Christensen, 23. Jules Kounde, 24. Eric García, 32. Héctor Fort, 35. Gerard Martín

Midfielders: 6. Gavi, 8. Pedri, 14. Pablo Torre, 16. Fermín López, 21. Frenkie de Jong

Forwards: 7. Ferran Torres, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Raphinha, 18. Pau Víctor, 19. Lamine Yamal

There are some very good news for this one as Barça welcome back Iñigo Martínez after the center-back missed the weekend draw against Real Betis due to some muscle discomfort. His return leaves only Marc Casadó (knee), Dani Olmo (groin) and Marc Bernal (knee) as long-term injury asbences, while Marc-André ter Stegen (knee) is back in training but still waiting to get his medical clearance.

Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):

Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsí, Iñigo, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Gavi, Raphinha; Lewandowski
