The head coach of Barcelona, **[Hans-Dieter Flick](https://example.com)**, will be able to participate in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League. This information comes from Mundo Deportivo. The Blaugrana will face Newcastle on September 18 at St James’ Park.

It is worth recalling that last season, the German coach was suspended for his conduct during the semifinal match against Inter Milan, which ended in a 3-4 defeat after extra time. His assistant, Markus Sorge, also faced penalties. The Catalan club submitted an appeal, which was partially reviewed by UEFA. As a result, the coaches will be allowed on the sidelines during the match against the English team.

However, Flick’s and his assistant’s behavior will be closely monitored, and any further violations may lead to additional penalties, including the reinstatement of their previous suspension.
