FC Barcelona has officially released the squad list for the crucial Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atlético Madrid.

The announcement confirms the players available for the quarter-final tie, and there are only a few notable absences as Barça look to take a crucial step toward the next round.

The squad reflects both Flick’s confidence in his core group and his need to manage fitness carefully in a demanding phase of the campaign.

The headline name among the available players is Frenkie De Jong, who is once again included after being out in earlier fixtures due to injury, as per the official squad list.

Robert Lewandowski’s presence gives Barcelona an experienced focal point in attack, while Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Marcus Rashford are also part of the forward options.

In midfield, Pedri and Casadó are among the key figures listed, though the squad still has to cope without several important absentees.

At the back, Barcelona has enough depth to handle the challenge, with Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí, Alejandro Balde, and Jules Kounde all included.

The squad also features Gerard Martín and Eric García, giving Flick flexibility in how he structures the back line depending on the game state.

Barça Atlètic defender Álvaro Cortés is among the new faces in the squad, highlighting the club’s willingness to lean on its development pathway when necessary.

That kind of depth can be valuable in knockout football, where small changes in personnel can shape the flow of the tie.

For Barcelona, the release of the squad list is another sign that they are treating the Atletico Madrid meeting as a major opportunity.

The official squad gives Barcelona enough quality to compete strongly, while also offering enough flexibility to respond to whatever Atletico throw at them.
