Barcelona faces Newcastle in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 at St James’ Park on Tuesday.
Barcelona comes into this match after a strong performance in La Liga, leading by four points at the top and showing consistency under Flick.
Their recent 1-0 win against Athletic Club, with a goal from Lamine Yamal in the second half, highlights their skill in tight matches and their ability to maintain clean sheets even in tough situations.
Barcelona team news
Barcelona has a notable injury list, especially in defense and central positions, which affects several key players.
Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde are out due to hamstring injuries from the Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid.
Additionally, centre-back Andreas Christensen is unavailable, so Flick is likely to pair Gerard Martin with Pau Cubarsí in central defense and use Joao Cancelo and Eric Garcia as full-backs, as seen in their last match against Athletic Club.
In midfield, Barcelona will miss Frenkie de Jong and Gavi, who will not play in the first leg against Newcastle.
Barcelona predicted lineup
Possible Barcelona starting XI: J. Garcia; E. Garcia, Cubarsi, Martin, Cancelo; Pedri, Casado; Yamal, Lopez, Raphinha; Lewandowski
When will the match kick off?
The match will start at 8pm BST on Tuesday, March 10th.
