Barcelona team news

The Blaugrana are without Andreas Christensen, Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal, but Robert Lewandowski is expected to shake off his niggle due to which the Polish forward was left out of the weekend league game against Osasuna.

Having missed the first leg, Gavi should make the squad after recovering from an illness, while Ronald Araujo will fill in for Cubarsi following the latter's sending off in Benfica.

Benfica team news

Alexander Bah, Manu Silva and Tiago Gouveia are sidelined through injuries, while Angel Di Maria remains a major doubt once again.

Furthermore, Alvaro Carreras will be suspended on account of the accumulation of yellow cards, while Tomas Araujo can also be counted as a doubt. Bruma is ineligible, as the January signing was not registered for the club's squad for the Champions League knockout phase.

Leandro Barreiro, Kerem Akturkoglu, Andreas Schjelderup and Vangelis Pavlidis are all expected to start here.
