Team news & squads
Barcelona team news
Barcelona relied on their key players in Norway, notably Caroline Graham Hansen, who scored the opener and has five goals and five assists to her name this European campaign, and Aitana Bonmati, who was involved heavily in setting up the winner.
Barca will certainly believe they have the defensive resilience required to prevent Brann from mounting a comeback, having kept clean sheets in six of their previous eight outings. On the injury front, Spanish defender Mapi Leon (knee) and Jana Fernandez (hamstring) are the only casualties.
Barcelona possible XI: Cata Coll; Bronze, Paredes, Engen, Batlle; Bonmatí, Walsh, Guijarro; Graham Hansen, Caldentey, Paralluelo.
