Latest Barcelona vs Atalanta squad information
Barcelona will still have to do without Inigo Martinez due to a hamstring injury. Marc-Andre ter Stegen and Marc Bernal's efforts to recover from knee injuries have not yet yielded positive results. Dani Olmo's situation has also not progressed much, as the player is still unable to return due to calf pain. However, the good news has come to Barcelona as Pedri has overcome his illness and is likely to return to help the team's midfield become more solid. Coach Flick may continue to use Wojciech Szczesny in goal, and the two pillars Gavi and Lewandowski are likely to have their familiar starting positions.
Meanwhile, Atalanta will continue their European journey without Odilon Kossounou and Gianluca Scamacca, both of whom are injured. Midfielder Marten de Roon will also need to be assessed for fitness after leaving the field early with a head injury. Aside from those absences, a bright spot has returned as Isak Hien has completed his suspension and could return to the field. With his recent form in attack, striker Retegui is expected to continue to lead Atalanta's attack in the upcoming match.

Latest football commentary on Barcelona vs Atalanta
Barcelona are continuing their European journey with an impressive run of six consecutive victories. Despite suffering an away defeat to Monaco, Barcelona have since bounced back with wins against Young Boys, Bayern Munich, Red Star Belgrade, Brest and Borussia Dortmund.
The match against Benfica last week also witnessed the mettle of the Catalan team when they had a dramatic comeback to win 5-4. They also had a very convincing match in La Liga, where Barcelona easily won 7-1 against Valencia at home. Currently, coach Flick's army is only 3 points behind Liverpool and all Barca players are very confident for the upcoming match with Atalanta. They are showing a perfect performance in European cup matches when they have won 3 consecutive matches at home, scoring 12 goals and only conceding 1 goal. Even a victory against Atalanta and an unfavorable result for Liverpool against PSV Eindhoven could help Barcelona take the top spot in the C1 Cup.
On the other hand, Atalanta still have a lot of work to do if they still want to get a ticket to continue. At the moment, the team from Italy only has a one-point advantage over the opponents right below them. Despite having just lost 1-3 to Real Madrid in the 6th round, Atalanta made a very impressive comeback with a resounding 5-0 victory over Sturm Graz last week. Notably, Atalanta is still the 3rd best scoring team in the tournament with 18 times tearing the net of the opposing teams and also only conceding 4 goals, a very impressive achievement in a tournament that gathers all the strong teams of Europe. The 2-1 victory over Como also helped the team have good psychological preparation, however, they also need to be careful when in the past they have not been able to win against Spanish teams in the European Cup in the last 5 times they faced each other. Although the statistics are not really in favor of the Italian team, Atalanta's players have shown positive signs and can hope to change their fate before the upcoming clash.
