Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has opened the possibility for midfielder Frenkie de Jong to start in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid. De Jong recently returned to action after a six-week absence due to a muscle tear and played a crucial role in the recent 4-1 victory over Espanyol, providing an assist. Flick emphasized the need for his team to be both defensively strong and offensively brave, especially given the challenging atmosphere expected at the Metropolitano Stadium. The coach mentioned that the decision on De Jong's starting position will depend on the match strategy, particularly in light of Pau Cubarsi's suspension. Additionally, Lamine Yamal, an 18-year-old forward, has been praised for his performance and is anticipated to play a significant role in the attack alongside other key players like Marcus Rashford and either Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, or Ferran Torres.
