Just four days after their intense La Liga clash, which saw FC Barcelona claim a 2-1 victory, the Catalans welcome Atlético Madrid this Wednesday for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. The starting line-ups have been announced.

For this high-stakes encounter, Hansi Flick must do without Christensen, Bernal, De Jong, and Raphinha, all sidelined due to injury. On the other side, Diego Simeone travels without Oblak, Giménez, Barrios, and Cardoso, each ruled out through injury. Griezmann is indeed starting for the Colchoneros.

Here are the official line-ups:

FC Barcelona: Joan Garcia - Koundé, Cubarsi, Gerard Martin, João Cancelo - Pedri (c), Eric Garcia - Yamal, Dani Olmo, Rashford – Lewandowski.

Atletico: Musso - Molina, Le Normand, Hancko, Ruggeri - Simeone, Llorente, Koke (c), Lookman - Griezmann, Alvarez.
