The FC Barcelona will try to strengthen even more the first place of his group this Tuesday in Hamburg against the Shakhtar Donetsk. The culés confront again to the Ukrainians from the 18:45 hours with the intention to go back to win to classify mathematically for the eighth of final of Champions League. With a triumph, the Barcelona would be in the following round after dps consecutive years going to the Europe League.

In addition to looking for the three points, the Catalans need to give a 'hit in the table' after the discussed victory in front of the Real Sociedad in League and the defeat against the Madrid does something more than a week in the Classical. In front of the madridistas lost playing well by not knowing close the party and in front of the Basques, although the goal of Araújo in the discount finish giving the triumph, played very bad and could lose if the 'txuri-urdin' put any of the multiple occasions of which had.

By all this, the Barça needs to win and convince against the Shakhtar to domicile in a duel in which Xavi Hernández can have the same footballers that against the Real. The technician has decided not risking with Pedri, that will go back to be acting, but yes has done changes in the XI for rotar to several headlines. The case more reseñable is Joao Félix, that was being indisputable, but that drags a bad series goleadora that it could 'cure' with a 'reset' after this rest.

In addition to Joao, the others 'intocables' that remain in the bench against the Ukrainians are Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde. In the place of the French goes in Andreas Christensen, that did not play in front of the Real by the bet of the technician by Iñigo Martínez, that to his time also remains in the bank by the turn of Joao Cancel to the right side. In the left lane will be Marcos Alonso, that will have a new opportunity to convince to the Barcelona of face to his future, that is more in the air that never.

Also it is necessary to speak of the turn of Oriol Romeu to the XI initial after his suplencia in the Classical and after remaining without playing for the first time this course against the Real. The ex of the Girona has to claim and show that it can be important in the mediocentro, since in contrary case could force to the club to fichar to a pivote in January.

Besides, another that returns to the Xi after several weeks without being by injury is Raphinha, that had had minutes like revulsivo so much in front of the Madrid as in front of the Real Sociedad. The Brazilian has competition in the right with Lamine Yamal and can not sleep if it wants to be important. Finally, Ferran Torres will accompany to the ex of the Leeds and to Lewandowski in the front of attack and probably will split of the left.
