Barcelona v Copenhagen: Confirmed starting lineups in Champions League

Barcelona welcome Copenhagen to Camp Nou knowing that victory is essential if they are to stand any chance of finishing inside the Champions League’s top eight and avoiding the knockout round playoff.

The Catalan side head into the final matchday sitting ninth in the league-phase table on 13 points, level with several teams above them, while Copenhagen are down in 26th and require a result to keep their European campaign alive beyond this stage.

Barcelona arrive into the contest buoyed by a 3-0 domestic victory over Real Oviedo at the weekend, a result that lifted them back to the top of the La Liga table and restored some momentum after an uneven run.

Copenhagen, meanwhile, have exceeded expectations in recent weeks to keep their slim hopes alive. Jacob Neestrup’s side have taken seven points from their last three Champions League matches, beating Kairat and Villarreal before earning a credible 1-1 draw away to Napoli.

Here’s how they line up in Barcelona.
