Barcelona have been down to just 12 senior players for their last two matches, relying on 16-year-old Lamine Yamal to play full matches, as well as crucial contributions from Pau Cubarsi (16) and Hector Fort (17).

Meanwhile Inaki Pena started off well replacing Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but has been less convincing in 2024. The La Masia goalkeeper has conceded 32 times in the 17 games since ter Stegen got injured, and while that is not all down to him, he certainly has lacked the command that a difference-maker like ter Stegen has.
