Barcelona boss Xavi selects Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore and Ferran Torres as his front three for Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg with Galatasaray.

Barcelona boss Xavi has named Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Adama Traore and Ferran Torres as his front three for Thursday's Europa League last-16 second leg with Galatasaray.

The contest is delicately poised following a 0-0 draw in the first leg at Camp Nou, with the two teams battling to secure their spot in the quarter-finals of the competition.

The team shows three changes from the side that started against Osasuna in the league last time out, with Sergino Dest, Frenkie de Jong and Traore coming into the XI.

Dani Alves, who is not eligible to play in the Europa League, drops out of the right-back position, while Gavi is replaced by Frenkie de Jong in the middle of midfield.

Ousmane Dembele is the player to drop out of the attack to allow Traore to start, while Eric Garcia keeps his spot in the middle of the defence over Ronald Araujo.

Gerard Pique came off just past the hour against Osasuna at the weekend but is fit to start at centre-back.

BARCELONA XI: Ter Stegen; Dest, Pique, Garcia, Alba; Busquets, Pedri, F de Jong; Traore, Aubameyang, Torres
