Ronald Koeman will rotate his team for Barcelona’s UEFA Champions League clash against Ferencváros, with Miralem Pjaniu0107 in line to get his first start for the Catalans, according to local media.

After giving Philippe Coutinho and Ansu Fati some rest in the 1-0 loss against Getafe, the pair are slated to start for the blaugrana, who will be taking on Ferencváros, who come in as heavy underdogs.

The Hungarian club are returning to the Champions League group stage for the second time in history, having previously appeared in the 1995-96 edition.
