As the final day of the Champions League league phase approaches, Barcelona is set to face Copenhagen. This match could potentially be the highest scoring event of the day. Currently, Barcelona is outside the top eight in the standings, which is crucial for securing an automatic qualification for the round of 16. Achieving this not only streamlines their progress but also allows for crucial rest periods.
Unfortunately, Barcelona will be missing key players from their central midfield: Pedri, Gavi, and Frenkie De Jong. This situation will challenge manager Hansi Flick, as the team will need to capitalize on scoring opportunities during the match.
