In Matchweek 4 of the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona travels to Serbia to play Red Star Belgrade, hoping to maintain its dominant play.
The latest of Flick’s team’s six victories on the field came in La Liga, where they destroyed Catalan rivals Espanyol. Barcelona’s well-oiled machine was too strong for Los Periquitos to overcome. Even with the subsequent victories, Flick will never forget the UCL campaign opener against AS Monaco, an on-paper weaker team, in his team’s first away European match of the year.
Barcelona would finish the week in the top eight of the UCL league phase with a victory at the Rajko Mitic Stadium, guaranteeing them a spot in the round of 16 under the new structure.
Flick may decide not to rest some of his key players in anticipation of an impending international break, aiming for two victories in the final two games before the break.
This is Barcelona’s possible lineup for their match against Crvena Zvezda.
