Official: FC Barcelona squad list to face Atletico Madrid | Champions League

FC Barcelona have confirmed the travelling party for Wednesday’s do-or-die UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, where they must overturn a 0-2 deficit against Atletico Madrid.

Manager Hansi Flick has included Frenkie de Jong after the Dutch midfielder completed a comeback from a hamstring injury in Saturday’s derby against Espanyol. Teenage midfielder Marc Bernal will also make the trip, though his participation remains contingent on final medical clearance following an ankle sprain. Left-back Gerard Martin, withdrawn as a precaution at the weekend, has been passed fit and takes his place in the group.

Flick has again turned to the club’s academy to bolster numbers, with Tommy Marques, Xavi Espart and Álvaro Cortés all promoted for the Madrid assignment. Their inclusion underscores the depth of La Masia’s current output and the coaching staff’s willingness to trust youth on European nights.

The only enforced absentee is centre-back Pau Cubarsí, who serves a suspension after his red card in last week’s first-leg defeat at Spotify Camp Nou. Kick-off at the Metropolitano is scheduled for tomorrow night, with Barcelona needing at least two goals to force extra time and three to advance outright.
