Barcelona predicted XI vs Aston Villa as star-studded attack gives Unai Emery headache

Aston Villa prepare to face Hansi Flick's Barcelona at Camp Nou in the Champions League, with the hosts dealing with a defensive injury crisis. Unai Emery's side has won their first three league stage matches against Viking, Fenerbahce, and Club Brugge as they seek a knockout spot.

Barcelona are predicted to start Joan Garcia in goal, with Frenkie de Jong playing as a makeshift center-back alongside Pau Cubarsi due to injuries. The formidable frontline is expected to feature Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Anthony Gordon, with Rodri, Pedri, and Fermin Lopez in midfield.
