The big game is here. On Saturday, Barcelona and Juventus will go for
the treble as they clash at the historical Olympic Stadium of Berlin,
Germany, in the UEFA Champions League Final.
For the biggest game of the season, Barça coach Luis Enrique has his
whole squad available, and he's taking everyone on the plane.
Lucho released the squad list, and as usual for a Champions League
trip, the boss is taking every one of the 23 first-team players with
him to the trip.
Alongside the big boys, B-team youngsters Sergi Samper, Sandro Ramírez
and Munir El-Haddadi will also be in Berlin for the game of the year.
Thankfully, Enrique will have no injury issues to worry about. Andrés
Iniesta is cleared and fully available for selection, and his calf
issue is part of the past.
You know them all, but just in case these are the 26 men named by
Lucho to form the squad for the Final.
Just a few hours before the game, 8 of them will be cut, and a final
18-player squad will be in uniform:
