Barcelona announce squad for Champions League match against Manchester City

Luis Enrique has chosen 18 players for Wednesday's big game

The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana have a massive UEFA Champions League match against Manchester City on Wednesday, and coach Luis Enrique has selected 21 players to form the squad for the game at Camp Nou:


Goalkeepers: 1. Marc-André ter Stegen, 25. Jordi Masip

Defenders: 3. Gerard Piqué, 14. Javier Mascherano, 18. Jordi Alba, 19. Lucas Digne, 20. Sergi Roberto, 22. Aleix Vidal, 23. Samuel Umtiti, 24. Jérémy Mathieu

Midfielders: 4. Ivan Rakitic, 5. Sergio Busquets, 6. Denis Suarez, 7. Arda Turan, 8. Andrés Iniesta, 12. Rafinha Alcântara, 21. André Gomes

Forwards: 9. Luis Suárez, 10. Lionel Messi, 11. Neymar Jr., 17. Paco Alcácer


No surprises from Lucho, although he has to drop three of the players on the list to form a definitive 18-man squad. This is probably just some mind games; Lucho doesn't want to give Pep any idea of his plans, and leaving out someone like Denis Suarez or Rafinha would make it easier for Guardiola to predict a certain lineup of tactical option.

Projected starting lineup (4-3-3, right-left):

Ter Stegen; Roberto, Piqué, Umtiti, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar


The match starts at 8:45pm CET / 7:45pm BST (UK) / 2:45pm ET, 11:45am PT (US) / 12:15am IST (India, next day). You can join us to follow and comment all the action.
