Barcelona FC’s first team is gearing up to compete against French side Monaco FC in the new Champions League format. The match will take place at Louis II Stadium at 10:00 PM today, Thursday, September 19.
Barcelona, under the guidance of German coach Hansi Flick, is facing challenges due to the absence of key players, including Gavi and defender Ronald Araujo, along with the recent injury to Spanish winger Dani Olmo.
According to the Spanish newspaper “Sport,” Hansi Flick has decided to replace Dani Olmo in Barcelona’s starting lineup against Monaco with Ferran Torres, which will likely surprise many fans.
