- Gerard Pique is expected to miss at least three months after suffering an ACL injury during the match against Atletico Madrid.
- Although the centre-back has been an undisputed starter, Barcelona coped well without him during the 7 matches he missed across the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, Diario Sport point out.
- Last term, Barca beat Eibar (3-0), Borussia Dortmund (3-1), Inter Milan (2-1), Ibiza (2-1), Betis (3-2) and Alaves (5-0) without Pique.
- This term, the Catalans defeated Juventus 2-0 with Gerard unavailable for the match after picking up a red against Ferencvaros.
- Unlike in the previous matches, though, Barca currently don't have a proper replacement for the 33-year-old as Ronald Araujo and Samuel Umtiti are injured as well.
