Hansi Flick has confirmed the list with the 23 players called up for the SL Benfica vs FC Barcelona match

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona will face SL Benfica in a match corresponding to matchday seven of the UEFA Champions League. This is the first clash of this competition in the year 2025 and presents itself as a challenge in which the Culés will seek to maintain a positive momentum in this tournament, where they currently hold five wins and one loss, positioning themselves second in the standings with a total of 15 points, just three behind the leader, Liverpool.

In this regard, Hansi Flick has announced the 23 players called up to face this encounter. In the list, as was being discussed, the main absence compared to the previous match against Getafe CF is that of Dani Olmo, who is out due to injury (a soleus strain), a situation pending further evaluation.

Furthermore, as an interesting note, the German coach has brought Ansu Fati out of obscurity, calling him up again after four consecutive omissions. This is likely due to the absence of Dani Olmo, suggesting an intention not to do without an asset in the offensive aspect. All of this unfolds amidst a wave of rumors regarding his potential departure from FC Barcelona in this winter transfer market.
