Barcelona is gearing up for a critical Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, needing to overturn a two-goal deficit to progress. Defender Gerard Martin, who had been a concern after an injury in the recent match against Espanyol, is expected to be fit for the showdown at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. His return is a significant boost for coach Hansi Flick, especially with Frenkie de Jong also returning to the lineup to strengthen the midfield.
