Although Alexandre Pato has recovered from two months out with a thigh strain, but is only on the bench for this huge game after scoring in the opening minute at the Camp Nou.

Mark Van Bommel and Clarence Seedorf bring experience to the midfield along with Alberto Aquilani, while Kevin-Prince Boateng has the trequartista role.
