Only Gerard Pique, who is suspended, will not feature against the Germans

The time has come to take important decisions and forget about lab testing. The heavyweights will play. Ernesto Valverde and Barcelona need to win against Borussia Dortmund at home to book their place in the lasy 16. All the heavyweights are in and, Ansu Fati aside, all the kids are out.

The first choice the coach has to make is between Umtiti and Todibo to pair Clement Lenglet in the suspended Gerard Pique's absence. Umtiti seems more likely. Sergi Roberto and Junior Firpo will be the full-backs.

Arthur is back in the squad and is poised to start, with Alena left by the wayside. He will battle Arturo Vidal for that place, alongside Frenkie de Jong and Sergio Busquets.

Then comes the big choice. Antoine Griezmann or Ousmane Dembele to go with Leo and Luis. Ansu Fati will be on the bench, while Carles Perez was left out.
