Barcelona will face Feyenoord in their first UEFA Champions League group stage match tomorrow at September 9 16:45 UTC. According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is expected to field a full-strength squad, with Rodri and Pedri continuing their partnership in midfield.

Barcelona should ideally field a full-strength squad for this match. Manager Flick has kept his starting lineup close to his chest because Barcelona has numerous potential starters this season. Flick has also acknowledged that this means he needs to spend more time communicating with players currently on the bench.

Nonetheless, Barcelona's impressive performance against Valencia suggests the team's lineup will remain stable. Eric Garcia's one-match UEFA suspension, coupled with his nose injury sustained against Valencia, answers one question: Koundé will start at right-back.

On the opposite flank, Gavi's successful performance at left-back means Cancelo and Balde will have to wait patiently for their opportunities. Joan García is the team's regular starting goalkeeper, with Cubarsí and Martín as the center-back pairing. Christensen is also eager to secure a starting spot.

The "experience" Flick sought at the end of last season in pursuit of the Champions League title is fully embodied in Rodri, who, like Christensen, is one of only two players in the squad to have already won the Champions League.

Following an outstanding display against Valencia, Rodri is expected to start again, partnering with Pedri, who also performed impressively and scored at Mestalla. Their collaboration is predicted to be "spectacular."

Yámal will continue in the starting lineup, and Fermín's excellent performance at Mestalla secures his place in the XI. Gordon, with five assists, is expected to continue on the left wing, while Adeyemi remains on the bench. Raphinha also leads the attack in the starting lineup.
