Ferran Torres, who has been in fine form in the cup competition, gets the nod over Robert Lewandowski as the centre-forward.

Meanwhile, Raphinha is back in the side after not featuring in the last two games due to travel fatigue. Lamine Yamal occupies the third position in attack for the visitors.

Fermin Lopez has been given the nod over Gavi as the central attacking midfielder by Flick while Pedri and Frenkie de Jong form the double pivot in the middle of the park.

As for the defence, Pau Cubarsi has been reinstated after not playing any part in the last two matches. He pairs up with Inigo Martinez in the centre, flanked by Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde while Wojciech Szczesny continues in goal.
