Barcelona boss Xavi makes three changes to his starting XI for Tuesday's Champions League contest with Benfica at Camp Nou.

Barcelona boss Xavi has made three changes to his starting XI for Tuesday's Champions League contest with Benfica at Camp Nou.

Xavi's first match in charge of the Catalan giants ended in a 1-0 win over Espanyol at the weekend, with Memphis Depay's second-half penalty proving to be the difference between the two sides.

There are three changes to the side that took to the field for the first whistle at the weekend, with Ronald Araujo, Clement Lenglet and Yusuf Demir coming in.

Oscar Mingueza, Eric Garcia and Ilias Akhomach are the three players to drop out of the side, with the latter not eligible to feature in the Champions League.

Fit-again Ousmane Dembele is back in the squad, with the France international, who continues to be linked with a move away from Camp Nou, making the bench.

Araujo will seemingly feature at right-back for Barcelona this evening, although there is a chance that Xavi's side could line up in a back three.

Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Araujo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba; F de Jong, Busquets, Nico; Gavi, Memphis, Demir
