Barcelona projected lineup 2026/27: How Rodri changes things for Hansi Flick in hunt for Champions League title
After scoring two straight La Liga titles, Barcelona have their sights set on European glory as they approach the start of the 2026/27 campaign.
Barcelona are set to showcase a strong lineup for the 2026/27 season, with the addition of Rodri bringing new depth and capability to the squad. Under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick, the team is aiming to secure Champions League glory, a feat they have not achieved since Lionel Messi's prime years. The projected starting lineup features a 4-2-3-1 formation, with goalkeeper J. Garcia at the heart of the defense, joined by J. Kounde, P. Cubarsi, E. Garcia, and A. Balde.
In midfield, Rodri will partner Pedri, while Lamine Yamal and D. Olmo will hold down the central attacking positions. Up front, Raphinha will be the focal point of the attack, supported by a host of other talented players. However, Barcelona will need to address depth issues, particularly in the striker position, and will look to bolster the squad with potential new signings.
Flick's tactical approach revolves around an aggressive high press, with players like Pau Cubarsi and Jules Kounde excelling in this role. Despite the risks involved, Barcelona's depth and star power make them strong contenders for the Champions League title.
