Marc Casadó to Start in Midfield for Barcelona Against Bayern Munich

Marc Casadó is set to play a crucial role in Barcelona‘s midfield as the team prepares to face Bayern Munich in a highly anticipated Champions League match. According to recent reports, Casadó will start alongside Pedri in the double-pivot position, forming the foundation of Hansi Flick‘s midfield strategy.

Casadó has been a regular starter for Barcelona this season, particularly after the injury to Marc Bernal. His consistent performance has earned him a place in Flick’s starting lineup, and he recently played the full 90 minutes in a previous match.

The decision to start Casadó and Pedri in midfield reflects Flick’s trust in their ability to control the game and provide stability. The choice for the attacking midfield position, however, remains undecided, with Fermín López and Dani Olmo being considered for the role. Olmo, who has recently returned to full fitness, is a strong contender, but there are indications that Flick might favor Fermín López for this crucial match.

The squad announced by Hansi Flick includes several key players, with Gavi and Fermín López also making their returns from injury. The complete squad lists a mix of experienced players and young talents, highlighting the depth and versatility of Barcelona’s team.

As Barcelona prepares to host Bayern Munich, the selection of Casadó and Pedri in midfield is seen as a strategic move to balance defense and attack, given their proven chemistry and performance in previous games.
