Barcelona FC’s first team is set to face French club Monaco FC in the new Champions League format. The match is scheduled for 10:00 PM today, Thursday, September 19, at Louis II Stadium.
Under German coach Hansi Flick, Barcelona is dealing with significant challenges due to the absence of key players like Gavi and defender Ronald Araujo, as well as a recent injury to Spanish winger Dani Olmo.
As reported by the Spanish newspaper “Sport,” Flick has chosen to replace Olmo in the starting lineup against Monaco with Ferran Torres, which is likely to catch many fans off guard.
The lineup for the match will be:
– Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen
– Defense: Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, Pau Coparsi, Jules Kounde
– Midfield: Pedri, Marc Casado, Raphinha
– Forwards: Ferran Torres, Lewandowski, Yamal
