Champions League 2025-2026: Slavia Prague-Barcelona, the likely lineups

Last call for Slavia Prague, called to play their remaining hopes of qualification by hosting a Barcelona determined to finish among the top eight in the standings.

The Czech side is still in the hunt for its first success in this edition of the UEFA Champions League: after six days, the tally speaks of just three points, the result of three draws and three defeats. A performance that forces Slavia to get a result at any cost in the last two matches of the group stage to try to get back in the running for the passage to the round.

The task, however, promises to be extremely complicated. At the Fortuna Arena comes a Barcelona team looking for heavy points to avoid the playoffs and gain direct access to the round of 16. The Blaugrana currently occupy 10 points and are chasing Atletico Madrid, just two points away and the last club in the direct qualification zone.

There is no shortage of difficulties for the Spanish team as well: the absence of Yamal, disqualified for a sum of penalties, weighs on the economy of the match, while Raphinha remains in strong doubt on the eve.

Probable lineups:

Slavia Prague (3-5-1):
Stanek; Zima, Ogbu, Holes; Sanyang, Sadilek, Provod, Haloupek, Moses, Doudera; Chytil.
All. Howe.

Barcelona (4-2-3-1):
Garcia; Kounde, Eric Garcia, Curbasi, Balde; Pedri, De Jong; Bardagji, Fermin, Rashford; Ferran Torres.
All. Flick.
