FC Barcelona-Shakhtar: Possible lineups for matchday 3 of the Champions League

The FC Barcelona has a new commitment that fulfil in the Champions League. This Wednesday (18:45 hours) confronts in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys to the Shakhtar Donetsk, a duel that Xavi Hernández will want to win yes or yes to finish the first turn of the liguilla with plenary of victories and already with a foot in the eighth of final.

With this stage, the Catalan technician would take into account to plant his best XI on the Catalan field, although this right now means an eleven headline that would be considerably move# away of the that could be the ideal of the Barça in this season. And it is that taking into account that the Barça arrives to this meeting with until six drops, as they are Frenkie of Jong, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Sergi Roberto, Koundé and Pedri, the technical body culé will have to work almost strictly with what has available, if besides we add the suspension of Gavi by his expulsion in front of the Port wine.

Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Shakhtar of the Champions

• XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; I Cancel, Araújo, Christensen, Alonso; Oriol Romeu, Gündogan, Fermín; Lamine Yamal, Ferran and Joao Félix.
• XI of the Shakhtar: Riznyk; Konoplia, Rakitskiy, Matvienko, Azarov; Nazaryna, Stepanenko; Zubkov, Sudakov, Kryskiv; Sikan.

Ter Stegen

The 'second' captain of the Barça will go back to be under the three sticks a European night more. The '1' arrives with the confidence to achieve a new goal to zero, the past Sunday in front of the Athletic, by what in Europe will want to keep the same dynamics, remembering besides that in the first two days has attained it in front of Amberes and Port wine.

I cancel-Araújo-Christensen-Alonso

In the defensive saga Xavi will go out to Europe for the first time without Jules Koundé in the staff. The French came being almost the only constant since it began the season, by what the pair Araújo-Christensen can go back to consolidate in key duels like the one of this Wednesday, at least in front of the return of the Frenchman. The Uruguayan rested the Sunday, going in to the field in the 60', precisely by the Danish, by what all aims to his titularities. Already in the sides, Marcos Alonso can be the only no usual to deliver something of rest to a Balde that can be key in front of the Real Madrid.

Gündogan-Romeu-Fermín

In the centre of the field seems simply not having more options. Except the canteranos Casadó and Garrido, the Barça simply does not have more mediocampistas natural available to receive to the Ukrainians this Wednesday. Thus, everything does to think that Oriol Romeu will split like pivote, taking into account that it will be in front of a personal proof, accompanied by the germano and the recien renewed canterano.

Lamine Yamal-Ferran-Joao Félix

In the line of the attack sucede a very similar situation to the one of the midfield. After the injuries of Raphinha and Lewandowski do not allow that they exist too many doubts on who will be the elected to be from the beginning. Joao Félix and Ferran will have to lead the attack culé, beside a Lamine Yamal that has all the integers to return to the XI after his suplencia in League.
