Barcelona vs Frankfurt: Confirmed line-ups in Champions League

Frankfurt are the first team to return to the Camp Nou in the Champions League as they face Barcelona tonight.

The Blaugrana have been settling back into their old home following its reopening in the aftermath of major construction, and fans will be excited to flood the stands for a night under the lights in Spain.

However, Hansi Flick’s men have work to do. They are 18th in the standings, and three points off the automatic qualification places for the next stage of the competition.

Frankfurt, meanwhile, are even further adrift, with just four points to their name.
