In the third and final match of UEFA Champions League Group H, which will take place on Wednesday, Barcelona will face off against Shakhtar Donetsk. When they face off against the Ukrainian team, the Catalan club will be hoping to make it three victories in a row in the competition when they take on them.
They will be coming into the game on the heels of a victory over Athletic Club in which they prevailed by a score of 1-0, and they will be seeking to continue generating momentum in front of the Clasico that will take place later this weekend. In the later part of this weekend, the Clasico will take place.
Xavi Hernandez, who will be serving as head coach for the game that will take place on Wednesday, disclosed the roster of players that he would have available to him the night before the game.
Because Barcelona’s first team will only have 12 players available for the game, the club has included a number of younger players on the roster that will compete tomorrow. These players will be in the competition. These young athletes are going to participate in their very first competition at the professional level.
Because Gavi was granted a suspension, he will not be able to take part in the competition. Additionally, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Frenkie de Jong, Jules Kounde, and Sergi Roberto will not be able to take part in the competition because they are injured.
Xavi is competing in the game alongside a team of younger players that includes Marc Casado, Hector Fort, Pau Cubarsi, Marc Guiu, and Aleix Garrido. Xavi was compelled to play the match alongside these players. This is a direct result of the circumstance that has transpired as a result of the situation.
