Bernal ruled out of Champions League quarter-final first leg

FC Barcelona midfielder Marc Bernal has been ruled out of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Atletico Madrid, while Ronald Araujo has been cleared to play.

Hansi Flick suffered a major setback during yesterday's tests at the Ciutat Esportiva. Medical reports confirm that Marc Bernal will miss the crucial clash against Atletico Madrid. In contrast, Ronald Araujo is available for selection.

With both LaLiga and the Champions League titles in the balance, the Blaugrana must navigate this injury crisis without their young midfielder.
