Barcelona aims to snap a two game winless streak when Ligue 1 side, Stade Brestois, visits the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys for matchweek 5 of the UEFA Champions League.
Brest is one of the surprises of the UCL season so far. Despite its rough start to Ligue 1 that have it sitting only three points clear of the relegation places, it's a completely different story in Europe. Brest currently sit fourth in the UCL league phase, yet to lose a game in the competition.
Barcelona can jump the French outfit with a victory to further solidify its position among the direct qualification positions. Hansi Flick's men lost a two goal lead in the dying minutes against Celta Vigo over the weekend and will be eager to get back to winning ways after a bumpy last two matches in La Liga.
Flick confirmed that Lamine Yamal is progressing well from his injury but still won't be available for selection. Alejandro Balde will also be sidelined with muscular discomfort so Flick will be forced to find replacements for two of his usual starters.
