FC Barcelona will lock horns with Club Brugge in Matchday 4 of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League later tonight, with kickoff not far away.

And, Barça manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will take the field in Belgium as the Catalans chase their third win in the competition this season.

The German tactician has opted not to make any changes to the lineup that took the field against Elche in La Liga over the weekend.

As such, Ronald Araujo starts in defence again alongside Eric Garcia, with Pau Cubarsi left out on the bench for the second game in a row as part of workload management.

Meanwhile, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde line up as the full-backs, while Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal in Joan Garcia’s continued absence.

Up ahead in midfield, Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado feature and will need to be careful, given they both are a booking away from a one-match ban.

Fermin Lopez, meanwhile, starts as the lone attacking midfielder ahead of Dani Olmo, who only recently came back from an injury.

As for the attacking unit, Ferran Torres gets the nod ahead of Robert Lewandowski as the centre-forward for Barcelona. Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford occupy the flanks.
