Barcelona youngsters prepare for debut in Champions League match against Feyenoord

Barcelona players Hamza Abdelkarim and Brian Farinas are in line to make their UEFA Champions League debuts against Feyenoord this Wednesday. Both players are eligible for a new initiative from UEFA and Topps that rewards first-time participants in the competition with a specialized blue patch on their shirt sleeves. Abdelkarim holds a spot on the club's List A roster, while Farinas is listed as an academy player on List B. Upon any potential match participation, the patch will be removed after the game to be authenticated and integrated into a signed collectable card. Other squad members, including Jesse Bisiwu, Ebrima Tunkara, Jordi Pesquer, Eder Aller, and Iker Rodriguez, remain eligible to receive the recognition should they feature in future European matches this season.
