Hansi Flick: “Frenkie has great qualities. I really value that he’s in our team. He has to come back from the WC injury and he’s training hard. Recovery is going as planned. I spoke with him this morning and it’s going well. Maybe after the international break, maybe not. We look at it day by day."

Winning the Champions League

> “Every big club dreams of this. It’s the biggest competition. We have the quality to win it, but the road is very long. We have to prove it. We’re just starting, and that’s what we want to do. We’ve shown it in La Liga and now we have to show it in the Champions League.”

La Liga three-peat

> “This too is part of our dreams and goals, and it would be a great achievement if we accomplish it.”

Squad tension after 4/4 wins and many experienced players on bench

> “We have many experienced players. They all have the responsibility to win everything. Not everything is easy after winning the four matches. There are players who are not happy, but every day you have to show that your moment has come. Our level is the one we show in training. It won't be easy to maintain the good atmosphere, but that's our job. I see all the players every day and I analyze what the best starting eleven could be. The players who play less must stay positive and help the rest.”

Leadership / togetherness

> “Now it seems like everything is going well, but although I see a lot of quality and intensity, I also see commitment to an idea and communication. We have to stay together on the pitch to fight better, to help each other. Everyone is here for that and I’m seeing it.”

On Yamal being key tomorrow

> “Of course. He can decide matches on his own. He has enormous quality. He loves improving day by day. What I also see now is his responsibility as captain. He enjoys football; that’s when he’s at his highest level.”

On Anthony Gordon

> “As a forward you can see he wants to score, even if for now he misses. But he gives the last pass, he gives assists. He will score, I’m not worried. He’s doing well in defence and attack.”

Ballon d’Or

> “We have many fantastic players and I would be happy if they won it. We’ll see. The most important thing is their attitude. There are several players who could win it.”

Referees / diving

> “That’s not my job. The quality and level of the referees is very good, in the Champions League and in La Liga. They don’t always have it easy, and they need support. I always try to stay calm.”

On Feyenoord

> “They play very bravely. They have a good way of playing and a good connection with each other. They have speed in attack. The midfielders also do well in the second line. We have to be ready for that tomorrow.”

Yamal: "On the day of the match against Elche, I had a bad look about me because it was hot and I was tired; it wasn't my best day, but that's over now. You did 45 stories and there was only one of them."

Yamal on eve of Champions League start for new season:

> “There is no greater motivation left than winning the Champions League. It’s the most special tournament. The whole team is motivated. We have it in our heads. This year it can happen with the players who have arrived: Gordon, Rodri, Adeyemi, João Cancelo.”

On playing with Fermin and Olmo:

> "Olmo and Fermín are great players, I feel very comfortable playing with either one or the other."

Yamal on being captain at tender age of 19:

> “It's an immense honor to be captain of Barça at 19. I'm very grateful to all my teammates. I'm very happy and I'll give my all for the team. Raphinha is a spectacular captain. Pedri, Eric, Frenkie are too, and I've learned a lot from them. ”

On winning Ballon D'or:

> “It doesn’t depend on me, it depends on you. The work with Barça and the national team has been incredible. I have a lot of possibilities because I’ve had a great year. We’ll see. I don’t think I need to campaign. Everyone can think what they want. I’m proud of what I’ve done and I can’t ask for more. That’s your job. I’m not going to beg for anything.”

On Dembélé leaving him off a Ballon d’Or shortlist:

> “He’s friends with Kylian, right?” (laughs) “I don’t care. I’m happy with the year I’ve had. When I’ve faced the two of them, I’ve won. I get on very well with Ousmane.”

On topic of pressing / “stars don’t have to press”:

> “At PSG and Bayern everyone presses and they win titles. If you don’t run, any team can beat you. If we want to win, we have to run; if you don’t run, you lose.”

Talk on Feyenoord and Frenkie's dutch connection:

> “Frenkie told me that he supports Ajax and that Feyenoord is the big rival. I always enjoy playing against teams I haven’t played against before.”

On Xavi's appointment as Dutch manager:

> “I think he’s a good coach. I only have good memories of him, because underneath him I made my debut. I hope he does well with the Netherlands, except against Spain."

Predicted Lineups

Pitch view — Barcelona (4-2-3-1) 

                            Joan García

        Koundé    Cubarsí    Martin    Xavi Espart

             Fermín          Rodri          Pedri

             Yamal          Raphinha      Gordon

Pitch view — Feyenoord (4-3-3) 

                              Ernst

         Read    St. Juste    Watanabe    Mármol

           Vanhoutte     Zechiël     Targhalline

          Valente            Ferri            Diarra

Barcelona notes: Flick is expected to keep the attacking spine that has taken 12 points from 12. Joan García stays in goal. Éric García’s European ban opens right-back for Jules Koundé; Cubarsí and Gerard Martín in the middle, Xavi Espart at left-back, with Cancelo and Balde on bench.

Rodri is in line for his first Champions League start for the club, pairing Pedri; Bernal and Olmo are the midfield rotation. Raphinha continues as the false nine after a 5–0 win at Valencia. Gordon holds the left. Fermín López is in form and should start ahead of Olmo. Gabriel Jesus remains a bench option. Gavi is back in the squad.

Feyenoord notes: Van Bronckhorst is unbeaten in the Eredivisie but is missing a cluster of full-backs and a centre-back. Ernst starts. The back four is likely Read, St. Juste, Watanabe and Mármol (the Spaniard covering left-back with Bos and Smal out). Vanhoutte and Targhalline should screen with Zechiël. Valente, Ferri and Diarra are the main outlets; Hadj Moussa is the other wide threat if selected. Shaqueel van Persie is a bench option. Reiss Nelson is a late-window addition who may not start.

Quick Take on Feyenoord

Theme Detail
Unbeaten, but this is a different test Van Bronckhorst’s side opened the Eredivisie with wins and draws (including 3–1 at NEC last Saturday) and sit in the top three. They have not lost in five league games, but they have not faced a press or attack like Flick’s. Away form in Europe has been thin; they have a long drought of away wins in the Champions League proper.
How they might create chances Without Bos and Smal, width comes from Read on the right and Diarra / Hadj Moussa / Valente in transition. Ferri is the focal point. They will sit in a mid-block, protect the box, and look to break rather than play through Barcelona’s press. Set pieces are the other route.
Defensive and squad strain Beelen, Bos, Nieuwkoop and Smal gut the back-line depth. Moder is out of midfield. Mármol is being asked to do a job at left-back. That leaves a patched unit against Barcelona’s width on the first European night back at a still-unfinished Camp Nou.

What We Are Watching from Barcelona

Theme Detail
European reset after a perfect Liga start Flick’s side have 12 points from 12 and a +15 goal difference (17–2) after 5–0 at Valencia. Real Madrid dropped points earlier in the week. A home win opens the league phase on maximum points before the October run of Galatasaray and PSG away.
Koundé in for the suspended Éric García García’s leftover European ban is the only forced change in the back line. Koundé should start at right-back for just the second time this season despite woes from fans on his poor defending in recent games. Cancelo is the other option; Balde covers Espart.
Rodri’s first European start in Blaugrana The World Cup winner has been mostly used as a substitute in Liga but did start in last Liga game. Will he be the key for this year deep run in Champions League? He as the moment tomorrow to impose himself.
Yamal, Raphinha and the false nine Yamal traveled through the Valencia knock and is expected to start. Raphinha remains the false nine after another multi-goal week. Adeyemi, Olmo and Jesus give Flick rotation if he manages minutes with midweek-weekend traffic already underway.

Olmo on if he understands Atleti's position: "I don't understand. In the end, we all have our dreams. I think Julian was also clear in that regard. He fought for his dreams, but in the end there are also other external situations that one cannot control. But life goes on. This doesn't slow down."

[Carlos Monfort] Gavi will return tomorrow to training after suffering a heavy blow in the first match of La Liga against Elche. It cannot be ruled out that he travels to Mestalla next weekend to face Valencia.

PREDICTED LINEUPS

Elche CF (3-5-2)

                     Dituro
         Chust   Affengruber   Redondo
   Sangaré   Villar   Aguado   Neto   Valera
             Houary   Fernando Niño

FC Barcelona (4-2-3-1)

With Frenkie de Jong and Rodri both out and Spanish world players getting integrated slowly, we should see Flick put Xavi Espart next to Marc Bernal like Gamper. Those two will have a lot of responsibility on the ball.

                     Joan García
   Eric García   Christensen   Gerard Martín   Cancelo
              Marc Bernal   Xavi Espart
   Lamine Yamal   Fermín López   Anthony Gordon
                       Raphinha

QUICK TAKE ON ELCHE

  • When they have the ball: We should expect Elche to be brave here. Anselmi likes them to push into a 3-2-5, and Matías Dituro is comfortable stepping up to help with the build-up. If they get through our first press, they could find some decent space out wide.
  • How they might create chances: We probably will not see them throwing hopeful crosses into the box all night. They will try to overload the wide areas, work their way into the half-spaces and then look for low cutbacks.
  • When we have the ball: They will likely drop into a compact 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 but keep their back line pretty high. That is risky against our pace, although it could make the middle of the pitch crowded and annoying to play through.

WHAT WE ARE WATCHING FROM BARCELONA

  • Xavi Espart: He is probably the player we are most curious about tonight. He has the calmness of a midfielder but can also cover at right-back, which feels like exactly the kind of flexible player Flick loves using. Today might be his big test.
  • The new-look attack: We finally get to see Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi in a competitive match. Both bring loads of pace and energy to the press, so our attack could feel very different right away.
  • Hamza Abdelkarim: Hamza feels like the fun wildcard off the bench. He scored four times in preseason, and bringing on a physical number nine could give us a completely different option if the usual approach is not working.
  • Lamine Yamal: Then there is Lamine, who has scored in both of his league appearances against Elche. We should not be surprised at all if he adds another one tonight.
