"Champions League football returns to the Spotify Camp Nou after a long time as FC Barcelona get set to host Eintracht Frankfurt in an hour as part of Matchday 6. With kickoff not far away, Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup in what is the first in a series of must-win matches for Barça to keep their hopes of a top-eight finish alive."
"The big news is that Raphinha is fully fit again and starts after being left on the bench against Real Betis due to discomfort. Meanwhile, Fermin Lopez and Robert Lewandowski also start in attack for the Blaugrana, with Lamine Yamal taking the final position, which means Ferran Torres has been left out despite his heroics against Real Betis. In midfield, Flick has persisted with the partnership of Pedri and Eric Garcia, meaning Frenkie de Jong remains on the bench."
"In midfield, Flick has persisted with the partnership of Pedri and Eric Garcia, meaning Frenkie de Jong remains on the bench. At the back, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, and Alejandro Balde form the backline that will shield goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who has recovered from a knock he picked up over the weekend. 📋 𝗢𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 #BarçaEintracht pic.twitter.com/ogaPqgQIBh- FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona_es) December 9, 2025"
