Hansi Flick sets up his Barcelona side with a 4-3-3 shape.
Casado as the lone 6/DM with Pedri and Olmo as the 8s but one of them is slightly deeper to help the build-up.

With Pedri often dropping, the shape can transition into more of a 4-2-4.
Love these movements from Pedri to organize and connect the play.

Balde as the left-back pushes high and wide — allowing Raphinha to move inside and operate between the lines.

Meanwhile, Kounde looks to offer the underlap and occupy the inside channel — creating the passing lanes/space for Yamal's 1v1.

Kounde can also offer a similar thing as Balde but it’s more dynamic on the RHS and doesn’t always the same.
Sometimes he supports/covers Yamal from the back without advancing.

We can see the relationship in the RHS for the 2nd goal — Kounde underlaps and occupies the inside channel to create passing lanes and space for Yamal.
He then pins the defender high and allows Yamal to cut inside.

Later on in the 2nd half.
Both fullbacks hold the width and the wingers move inside — combining with Lewandowski and Olmo in the pockets to arrive in the box and score the goal.
