The presence of Dro is the big news of the eleven that Flick presents against Olympiacos. The technician I had rehearsed in the preview with Roony and Fermín in the starting eleven and in the end the Swede was left out in favor of the young forward. Quite a surprise on the part of the coach, but not the only one.
In the center of the rear leaves Araujo on the bench again. It is still curious because against Girona he was not put in the starting eleven even though he had not had a national team match and was able to rest during the two weeks of the break. Furthermore, it had been the hero of the match against Míchel's team scoring the winning goal in injury time.
Pau Cubarsí and Eric García.
Flick has leaned towards Pau Cubarsí and Eric García in the center of the defense, the same thing he did last Saturday. And it is surprising considering the numerous errors that occurred at the back in that match, especially in the first part. Araujo's new substitution could indicate that on Sunday against Real Madrid the Uruguayan could start.
In the center of the field, Flick once again trusts Pedri and Casadó in the double pivot. The one who stays on the bench is Frenkie de Jong who played as a midfielder against Girona. Dro enters his place and Fermín will play on the left wing.
