Estrella Roja vs Barcelona: Barcelona Aims to Extend Winning Streak in Champions League Clash

FC Barcelona is set to face Estrella Roja de Belgrado in the fourth round of the 2024-25 Champions League, with the match scheduled to take place at the Rajko Mitić stadium in Belgrado on Wednesday, November 6.

Barcelona, under the leadership of Hansi Flick, comes into the match with high morale following recent victories over Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. The team is on a spectacular run of form, having won six consecutive matches with an impressive tally of 24 goals scored and only three conceded.

Despite their strong form, Barcelona is cautious about the match, particularly after the recent upsets of Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League. Flick has emphasized the importance of not taking any match for granted and has indicated that he will field a strong lineup to ensure a victory.

The probable lineup for Barcelona includes Iñaki Peña, Jules Koundé, Pau Cubarsí, Iñigo Martínez, Gerard Martín, Marc Casadó, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski. Koundé is set to return to the starting lineup after being a reserve in the previous match against Espanyol, while Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will play key roles in the midfield.

Estrella Roja, on the other hand, has had a tough start to the Champions League season, losing all three of their matches so far. They will be looking to break this streak but face a significant challenge against a strong Barcelona side. The Serbian team’s lineup is expected to include Ilic, Seol, Djiga, Spajic, Krunic, Elsnik, Maksimovic, Silas, Rodic, Kanga, and Ndiaye.

The match will be refereed by Espen Eskás of Norway and is crucial for both teams as they aim to secure their positions in the Champions League standings. Barcelona is determined to continue their winning streak and solidify their place among the top eight teams in the competition).
