FC Barcelona looks to get their second win in this current UEFA Champions League.

FC Barcelona has everything ready for its presentation this Wednesday against Porto in the duel corresponding to the second round of the Champions League. The Blaugrana team beat Royal Antwerp of Belgium 5-0 in their debut in the continental competition and tomorrow they will try to extend their positive streak in a risky match, which will take place at the Dragao Stadium from. Xavi plans to make several modifications with respect to the team that defeated Sevilla 1-0 last Friday.

Coach Culé has been forced to put his hand into the lineup, since Raphinha suffered an injury in the duel against the Rojiblancos, a situation that will sideline him from the field of play in the clashes against Porto and probably against Granada in the Spanish league. . The one who would enter in place of the Brazilian would be Orio Romeu, who was on the bench in the last game and only entered after 81 minutes of play. The other change that would occur at FC Barcelona would be the departure of the young promise, Lamine Yamal (who on Tuesday extended his relationship with the Institution for three more years) to bring in Ferrán Torres, another player who has shown a good level in the beginning of this semester.

Therefore, the team that FC Barcelona would stop in search of the second consecutive victory in the Champions League would be with Ter Stegen in goal; Joao Cancelo, Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde would make up the defensive line; Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gündogan and Gavi would appear in the middle; while the offensive trio would be made up of Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Joao Félix.

Lamine Yamal extended his link with FC Barcelona

The young 16-year-old promise of FC Barcelona, Lamine Yamal, signed the extension of her contract for three more years (the maximum allowed for players of this age) with the Blaugrana institution. The Culés shielded themselves for the future, put in place an exit clause of one billion euros and will be able to enjoy the talent of the Spaniard for a couple more seasons.
