Barcelona will soon welcome Belgian side Royal Antwerp to the Montjuic Stadium in Spain to kick off their UEFA Champions League Group Stage journey. The Catalan giants will be taking this competition seriously and will undoubtedly put special attention towards it.
Despite the quality of their opposition or what many would make of them, Barcelona are unbothered. For Xavi Hernandez and his team, every match in the Champions League will be equally important moving forward.
With more than 24 hours still left for the game to kick off, Barcelona have already released their squad list. The 21-man list includes almost the same players also involved in the clash against Real Betis, and will be looking to make yet another dominant performance in front of the home supporters.
Unfortunately, Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo could not make the final 21 for Barcelona. Despite being involved in the recent group training, it appears that Barca will be ensuring he recovers for a little while longer before making his return.
