After being knocked out of the Champions League group stages even ahead of their defeat to Bayern Munich, Barcelona will go into the final encounter with Viktoria Plzen with third place already assured.

Xavi Hernandez said in a press conference that he would choose an XI full of players who could not play so many minutes in the last five matches. Therefore, Inaki Pena and Pablo Torre will have a good opportunity to persuade the coach to select them for future matches.

In addition, Barcelona suffered the absences of Eric Garcia and Kounde at Valencia so Pique and Marcos Alonso are set to start as central defenders. Ferran Torres will want to put the team's poor form in recent matches to an end and will have a chance to shine as Lewandowski is not in the team.

On the other hand, Viktoria Plzen will also make some changes to the XI, although very few. Chory will be replaced by Bassey while Tijani will come in for Jemelka. However, Plzen could well field the same XI which faced Inter on matchday five.

Possible line-ups for Viktoria Plzen v Barcelona

Viktoria Plzen: Stanek; Hejda, Pernica, Tijani; Havel, Bucha, Kalvach, Mosquera; Jirka, Vlkanova; Bassey.

Barcelona: Inaki Pena; Bellerin, Pique, Marcos Alonso, Jordi Alba; Kessie, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Ferran.
