Barcelona receive a boost ahead of the Dortmund game!

Since the start of the season, Hans Flick has relied on a single, consistent backline that has included the most important player in the former Barcelona coach's system, Xavi Hernandez, who has created a legacy that has benefited Flick immensely to this point, and that cannot be denied by anyone.

One of the key pieces that Xavi Hernandez has been able to employ during his time with the team is Basque Inigo Martinez, who has been performing well for the team since his arrival from Athletic Bilbao and has become an integral part of the team's defence as well as the team's integrated system.

Is Iñigo Martinez back from injury ahead of the Borussia Dortmund clash?

The experienced defender suffered a minor but significant injury in the team's 1-0 Copa del Rey semi-final win over Atletico Madrid, which allowed them to advance to the final to face Real Madrid, who were eliminated in a dramatic semi-final match against Real Sociedad. Iñigo missed the match between Real Betis and Barcelona in the Mundial, which ended with the two teams sharing the points, leaving Barcelona four points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

However, the good news is that Monday's training session saw the Basque return to the Catalan side, as revealed by Marca, which will be a boost for the German coach to have his backline back in place against Borussia Dortmund.

Catalan team's ambitions against Borussia Dortmund!

Barcelona has missed the Champions League final since 2025, which is the last title the team won against Juventus under the coaching of Luis Enrique, Barcelona hopes this season to reach the final from Hans Fleck, who succeeded in creating a special team in record time and many followers agreed that it is one of the best versions of Barcelona in the past years and perhaps in the last decade.
