Latest Red Star Belgrade vs Barcelona team information
Red Star winger Peter Olayinka will miss the game due to an Achilles injury. Also absent is Nemanja Radonjic, who was substituted with an unspecified injury just eight minutes into the game against Vojvodina. Goalkeeper Omri Glazer and defender Ognjen Mimovic have also not played this season, and it is unclear whether they will be back in time to face Barcelona.
Cherif Ndiaye, currently Red Star's top scorer with 10 goals in 14 games, will lead the attack alongside Bruno Duarte, who has scored six times. Rade Krunic, Timi Max Elsnik and Andrija Maksimovic could also join the midfield.
Meanwhile, Barcelona will be without Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bernal, Ronald Araujo, Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia and Andreas Christensen, all of whom are injured. Hansi Flick may consider using Jules Kounde at right-back in place of Hector Fort, while Frenkie de Jong and Gavi will try to regain their places in central midfield.
Raphinha, who has scored 20 goals (11 goals and 9 assists) under Flick, will be an important spearhead in the starting line-up alongside Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal.

Latest football commentary Red Star Belgrade vs Barcelona
Barcelona are in excellent form, with a 13-game winning streak minus two small defeats to Monaco and Osasuna. They come into Wednesday's game on the back of six straight wins, scoring a total of 24 goals in the process. Under Hansi Flick, Barcelona have recorded impressive 5-0 wins over Young Boys and 4-1 wins over Bayern Munich in recent Champions League games, currently sitting 10th in the UCL standings, just three points off the top.
In La Liga, Barcelona consolidated their lead at the top of the table after a 4-0 win over Real Madrid and a 3-1 win over Espanyol, with new signing Dani Olmo and Raphinha scoring. They will continue their Champions League campaign with a first meeting with Red Star since 1996, when Barcelona won 4-2 on aggregate in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup.
Red Star Belgrade, on the other hand, are without a point after three Champions League games this season and are bottom of the group with 11 goals conceded. They lost 2-1 to Benfica, 4-0 to Inter Milan and 5-1 to Monaco. They have a dismal record of 81% in Champions League history, but have been strong in the Serbian SuperLiga, winning 12 of their 13 games with a 43-8 goal difference.
Red Star lost both of their games against Barcelona in the 1960s and are looking to avoid becoming the first team since Benfica to lose eight consecutive Champions League games. They will need to work hard to pick up points in their next three games against Barcelona, Stuttgart and AC Milan.
