Overview
- Barcelona have officially submitted their 25‑player Champions League List A that includes reserve‑team players Hamza Abdelkarim and Jesse Bisiwu, making them eligible for European matches.
- Neither Abdelkarim nor Bisiwu met UEFA’s List B criteria for homegrown youth players, so the club placed them on List A while they keep their domestic shirt numbers and Atlético duties.
- Young midfielder Brian Fariñas was named on Barcelona’s adjustable List B, which the club can update up to 24 hours before each match to add academy players.
- Swedish forward Roony Bardghji was omitted after undergoing knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined for an extended spell, removing a forward option from the European squad.
- The registration moves shape Barcelona’s depth for next week’s group‑stage opener against Feyenoord and show how UEFA’s List A/List B rules force clubs to balance youth development with short‑term availability.
