Match Breakdown: Lewandowski Eyes Scoring Milestone in Prague

Barcelona enters Matchday 7 sitting in 15th place with 10 points, just two points shy of the automatic qualification spots. They face a Slavia Prague side that has struggled to score, with a competition-low two goals across the entire league phase.

Chasing History: Robert Lewandowski returns to the starting lineup looking to add to his legendary tally; he has scored against 38 of the 48 different opponents he has faced in this competition.
Rashford’s European Form: New addition Marcus Rashford has been the club’s most decisive European attacker this season, tallying four goals and two assists in just six matches.
Slavia’s Rustiness: The Czech hosts may be lacking match fitness, having not played a competitive fixture in over a month due to their domestic winter break.
Defensive Fragility: While favorites, Barcelona’s defense has remained porous in continental play, conceding in each of their last nine Champions League matches.

The Injury Report: Yamal Suspension Limits Flick’s Options

Both sides are missing key tactical components, though Barcelona’s depth will be tested the most by a mix of discipline and injury.

Barcelona Absences: The Catalans are without teenage sensation Lamine Yamal (suspension) and Ronald Araujo (suspension). They also remain without long-term injury casualties, Gavi, Andreas Christensen, and Ferran Torres.
Returning Talents: In positive news, Raphinha is expected to return to the starting XI after being rested for precautionary reasons over the weekend.
Slavia Missing Pieces: The hosts are without Buzek and Horsky due to injury, while several other squad members remain ineligible for the Champions League squad.
