The player&#8217;s return is a major psychological boost for the team as they navigate a crucial competition phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The timing of the centre-back&#8217;s comeback is significant, with the Catalans needing a positive result to strengthen their position in the Champions League. Borussia Dortmund, currently in third place, pose a formidable challenge, and Araujo&#8217;s presence, even in a cameo role, could prove vital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barcelona&#8217;s squad list to face Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League<br>Goalkeepers: Inaki Pena, Wojciech Szczesny and Ander Astralaga<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defenders: Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo, Alejandro Balde, Inigo Martinez, Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Gerard Martin and Hector Fort<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Pablo Torre, Fermin Lopez, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forwards: Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha and Pau Victor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.besoccer.com\/match\/borussia-dortmund\/barcelona\/2025162106\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barcelona have unveiled their squad list for Wednesday&#038; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=178"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":180,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/178\/revisions\/180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
