Barcelona are one of the biggest club sides in world football, but with the departure of Lionel Messi, and their financial troubles, little is expected of them in the Champions League.

Even with Messi, the Blaugrana haven't been able to win the competition since 2015, and their recent transfer fiasco's have set the club back massively.

In 2013, Luuk de Jong was playing for Newcastle, while in 2017, Martin Braithwaite was plying his trade for Middlesbrough in the Championship. Fast forward to today, and they're both in Barcelona's Champions League squad. It's a remarkable turn of events, but it's a reality.

They are, however, perhaps unlikely to see much action, given Memphis Depay's early form, and Ansu Fati's return to fitness.

Barcelona have been drawn in a fairly competitive Group E, and will face: Bayern Munich, Benfica, and Dynao Kyiv. With Bayern in their group, Barca won't expect to top it, but progression into the last-16 will be demanded.

But, which players will Ronald Koeman have to call upon to accomplish this?
