Barcelona's Copenhagen Clash: Flick Names Squad Amid Injuries

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has named the squad for the Champions League clash with Copenhagen. The Catalans aim to cap their group phase by finishing in the top eight and securing direct progression to the knockout stage, contingent on goal difference.

Injuries, Returns, and Possible Roles

Gavi and Andreas Christensen are out long-term, Pedri is sidelined by a thigh issue, and Frenkie de Jong will miss the game due to suspension. According to the Spanish daily Sport, Eric Garcia and Dani Olmo could be deployed in flexible roles to offset midfield gaps, while Ferran Torres could operate as a playmaker when on the field. In better news, Ferran Torres, Barcelona's top scorer with 15 goals, has been cleared to return to action.

The full Barcelona squad for the Copenhagen match highlights depth and tactical versatility as Flick considers how to offset missing midfielders and adjust roles across the pitch.

Barcelona's objective is to advance from the group stage and secure a favorable goal difference to ensure a direct route to the last 16.

Punchline 1: If tactics were snacks, Flick just handed Barcelona a bigger box — they’ll need a bigger stomach to finish this meal.

Punchline 2: Barcelona's defense is so confident that the ball might cross the line and ask for a passport to go back out — tonight’s drama is real.
