Barcelona team news 

Barcelona will be without Pau Cubarsí, who was sent off early in the first-leg victory over Benfica and is suspended for the return fixture. Ronald Araújo is expected to step into the centre-back role in his absence. The Blaugrana also remain without key players Marc-André ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen, and Marc Bernal, all of whom are sidelined due to injury.

 

Hansi Flick may choose to stick with Frenkie de Jong and Dani Olmo in midfield, which would leave Marc Casadó and Gavi on the bench for this crucial clash. 

 

Benfica team news 

Benfica will have to cope without Álvaro Carreras, who is suspended after accumulating his fifth yellow card of the Champions League campaign in the first leg. Ángel Di María remains a doubt, while Tiago Gouveia, Alexander Bah, and Manu Silva have been ruled out.

 

Florentino, who was fit enough to make the bench over the weekend, is likely to return to the starting lineup. In Carreras' absence, Bruno Lage may switch to a three-man defensive setup, with Samuel Dahl expected to feature as a left wing-back.
