Borussia Dortmund vs FC Barcelona: Possible Lineups for the Match - Champions League 2024-25

Borussia Dortmund and FC Barcelona face each other this Tuesday in the second leg of the quarter-finals UEFA Champions League 2024-25. The Azulgrana team arrives with a four-goal advantage after the first leg at Montjuïc (4-0) and in their best moment of the season. Hansi Flick's team has 20 wins and 4 draws this 2025, a streak that has allowed them to head towards the treble.

In addition, the 'Culés' once again have most of their starters available, thanks to the return of Dani Olmo. The player from Terrassa received medical clearance this Sunday and was included in the squad, which means that the two significant absences for the visit to Germany will be Alejandro Balde and Marc Casadó. Dortmund, on the other hand, recovers Pascal Groß, who was suspended in the first leg, although they still have the absences of Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck.

Next, we review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes' bench, and the injured and suspended players of Hansi Flick's Barcelona for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

On the bench, the coach will have available Iñigo Martínez, who is expected to rest this Tuesday, in addition to Andreas Christensen, who hopes to add his first minutes of 2025.
