The La giants head into the game on the back of a 4-0 thrashing to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey last week as they aim to bounce back and catch up to league leaders Real Madrid.
Earlier this season, Flick’s side won the reverse fixture 2-1, relying on a 93rd minute goal by Ronald Araújo to seal three points.
Girona boasts a record of six wins, eight draws and nine losses from their 23 league matches during the 2025-26 campaign and sit 12th in the league, 10 place below Barcelona who will be without a number of key players.
Firstly in defence, Andreas Christensen (Ligament tear) is out in defence as the side turns to Pau Cubarsí and Gerard Martín to fill the gap.
Further up the pitch, Gavi (Arthroscopy) and Pedri (Hamstring injury) are also ruled out the clash whilst Raphinha (groin) and Marcus Rashford (knee) are regarded as major doubts.
Barcelona’s opponents will be without loanee Marc-André ter Stegen who will be replaced by Rubén Blanco between the sticks.
Girona haven’t defeated Barcelona since December 2023 and this was only their second ever victory over them. A win is crucial to keep Flick’s title dreams alive and anything less would hand Madrid a major advantage with just 14 games remaining.
