Key Barcelona midfielder Xavi was named in the starting lineup after coming through a training session earlier in the day at the Nou Camp. Pep Guardiola had also named young winger Isaac Cuenca in the starting lineup ahead of Chilean Alexis Sanchez.
Meanwhile Carlos Puyol has returned to the side at left-back, with Javier Mascherano continuing in the center of defense.
Milan begun with Alessandro Nesta starting in place of the still injured Thiago Silva. With Mark van Bommel also ruled out, veteran Massimo Ambrosini started in the midfield.
With the Italian giants needing a goal, Milan will be hoping that former Barcelona striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic can show the incredible skill and finishing of which he is capable.
After a 0-0 score in the first-leg, the return meeting between Barcelona and Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals could well be the game of the European season so far.
Milan will have been the happier side from the encounter at the San Siro just under a week ago, having prevented the revered attack of Barcelona from registering an away goal.
And with Milan only needing a score-draw to progress, the pressure would appear to be on the Champions League favorites.
But while there could be tension, Barcelona are far from strangers to the prospect of needing to get a result at home in the second-leg of a Champions League knockout tie. While Barcelona have been the dominant team in Europe's premier competition in the last three seasons, its away record in the knockout rounds is actually not all that impressive.
Last season Barcelona had to overturn a 2-1 away deficit against Arsenal in the second-leg of their last-16 tie. And against Stuttgart and Arsenal again the previous season, as well as against Lyon in 2009, Barcelona could only secure draws away from home before comfortably getting the job done at the Nou Camp in the return.
Because of this experience and of course as a result of their commitment to always playing the tiki-taka soccer for which they have become famed, don't expect Barcelona's players to start panicking if things are not going their way.
And if Barcelona's players need further reassurance they need only look at their incredible record at home this season.In 24 matches played at their legendary arena, Barcelona has come out on top in 21 of them and has yet to taste defeat.
That record was maintained with Barcelona keeping some pressure on Real Madrid courtesy of a 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao at the weekend.
Contrastingly, Milan could only muster a 1-1 draw at Catania on Saturday to allow Juventus to cut their lead atop Serie A to just two points.
