‘We need fresh legs’ - Hansi Flick hints at resting Pedri as Barcelona boss vows to make changes against Valencia

Barcelona were pushed to the limit in their epic comeback win over Benfica in Champions League action this week, and have another big European game against Atalanta looking to secure a Top 2 finish in the League Phase standings next Wednesday.

The Blaugrana have already played a ton of big games this January with pretty much the same starting XI, so it’s natural to wonder if coach Hansi Flick will be making any changes to his team on Sunday’s La Liga clash with relegation candidates Valencia.

Flick was asked about potential rotations in a press conference on Saturday, and he confirmed that he indeed plans to make some changes to the team, including resting his best and most important player, midfielder Pedri.
