🚨 BOOST FOR BARÇA: Inigo Martinez Returns for Dortmund Clash – Defensive Crisis Eased Ahead of UCL Showdown!
Barcelona has received a major boost ahead of their Champions League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund: veteran center-back Inigo Martinez is back in full training and available for selection after missing the weekend’s La Liga draw with Real Betis.
Why It Matters
Martinez missed the Betis game due to a knock from the Copa del Rey semifinal.
His return bolsters a defense that struggled without him—Bartra and Araujo couldn’t hold firm.
Hansi Flick now has a crucial decision: trust Martinez’s experience or stick with the current duo?
Midfield Puzzle
With Dani Olmo ruled out, Flick must choose between Gavi, Fermin Lopez, or Ferran Torres to take charge in the attacking midfield role.
All three bring different strengths—expect tactical surprises.
High Stakes
Barça remains in the La Liga title race but needs a big result in Europe.
With Dortmund’s attack looming, Martinez’s leadership and stability could prove decisive.
The message is clear: Barça are ready, strengthened, and locked in for war at the Camp Nou.
