Flick Rests Pedri as Barcelona Aim to Finish the Job Against Dortmund
Posted : 16 April 2025
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has opted to rest Pedri for their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Borussia Dortmund, making three changes to the starting lineup.
Inigo Martinez also drops to the bench, while Alejandro Balde misses out through injury, with Gavi, Ronald Araujo, and Gerard Martin stepping in.
Despite a strong 4-0 advantage from the first leg, Flick has kept his prolific front three of Lewandowski, Yamal, and Raphinha, while Dortmund are forced to replace injured captain Emre Can with Niklas Suele.
