Barcelona (4–2–3–1): Szczęsny (GK); Koundé, Iñigo Martínez, Cubarsí, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Fermín López, Lamine Yamal; Lewandowski.
Manager Hansi Flick has a near full-strength attack available, with Raphinha returning to the starting XI after rest and teen winger Lamine Yamal in great form on the right flank. The experienced Wojciech Szczęsny continues in goal with Ter Stegen still out.
Borussia Dortmund (3–4–1–2): Kobel (GK); Anton, Emre Can, Svensson; Ryerson, F. Nmecha, Chukwuemeka, Bynoe-Gittens; Brandt; Guirassy, Adeyemi. Coach Niko Kovač may deploy a back three given the defensive injuries. Emre Can could drop into central defense alongside newcomer Waldemar Anton and youngster Daniel Svensson. Wing-back Julian Ryerson will flank the right, while 19-year-old Jamie Bynoe-Gittens could be tasked to operate on the left. In midfield, Felix Nmecha and loanee Carney Chukwuemeka fill in for the absent veterans. Forward Karim Adeyemi is paired with winter signing Serhou Guirassy up front, supported by playmaker Julian Brandt in behind.
