It’s the Champions League tonight and it’s Barcelona against Benfica.

With Xavi’s Barcelona currently struggling with injuries, Xavi Hernandez has released his squad list for the game against Benfica tonight.

Team B players Inaki Pena, Nico, Gavi, and Alejandro Balde were included in the squad list with two big inclusions, Ousmane Dembele and Sergino Dest.

Sergio Busquets, Oscar Mingueza and Nico Gonzalez who got knocks at the weekend in the game against Espanyol are included and fit to play. Still, there is no sign of Ansu Fati, Braithwaite and Pedri as they are still on the sidelines

The squad list is as follows: Ter Stegen, Dest, Piqué, Araujo, Busquets, Riqui Puig, Dembélé, Memphis, Demir, Neto, Coutinho, Lenglet, Luuk De Jong, Jordi Alba, Frenkie De Jong, Òscar Mingueza, Umtiti, Eric Garcia, Iñaki Peña, Balde, Nico, Gavi and Balde.

The game is treated as a MUST win game because if Barca win, they are in the last 16, if they draw or lose then things are looking extremely difficult as they face Bayern Munich in the final group game.
