The Blaugrana will need their younger players to step up to achieve a successful finish in the Champions League group stage since several important players are out. Barcelona, which has won five of its previous six games, will put its recent success to the test when it hosts Atalanta in the Champions League group stage final. The Italian team is also playing very well, vying for second place and perhaps even the group title.

But Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta is also going through one of its greatest times ever. Third in Serie A right now, the squad has already guaranteed a position in the knockout round and advanced to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals Having won six of its past seven European games, Hansi Flick's team is having a fantastic run. As the season enters its pivotal phase, the squad is playing well at the right moment. m

Barcelona already has direct qualification to the Round of 16, which is what the Italian team is now aiming for. Two exceptional players, Raphinha with eight goals and Robert Lewandowski with nine, have led Barcelona in Europe. Together with Lamine Yamal, both will start at Montjuïc as part of an attacking three.
