Barcelona host Atalanta on Wednesday with their unbeaten 2025 record on the line.

Already secured in the top eight, the Blaugrana can top their group with a win depending on results elsewhere.

After a thrilling 5-4 comeback against Benfica and a dominant 7-1 La Liga win over Valencia, Barcelona are in superb form at home, having won all three of their Champions League group stage games so far.

Atalanta, sitting third in the group, still need points to secure an automatic spot in the knockout stages.

They come off a 5-0 win over Sturm Graz and a solid away record in Europe this season, but their recent struggles against Spanish teams will give them plenty to think about.

Barcelona will be missing Inigo Martinez and Marc-Andre ter Stegen, with Dani Olmo also doubtful, but the return of Pedri is a boost.

Atalanta, meanwhile, will be without Odilon Kossounou and Gianluca Scamacca, while Mateo Retegui’s goal-scoring form offers a threat up front.

A win for Barcelona would ensure they finish top, while Atalanta will need a strong performance to advance directly to the last 16.

Possible Lineups:
Barcelona:
Szczesny,Kounde, Cubarsi, Garcia, Balde, Gavi, Casado, Pedri, Yamal, Raphinha, Lewandowski

Atalanta BC
Carnesecchi, Djimsiti, Hien, Scalvini,Ruggeri, Ederson, Pasalic, Zappacosta; Samardzic,Retegui, Lookman
