The decision remains a mystery as Turan was reported to be match fit.
Turan recently recovered from an adductor injury and featured in the 2-1 defeat at the hands of Deportivo the week before.

Barcelona fans questioned the decision to drop Turan and sections of the fanbase could not understand how Rafinha gets to play instead of the experienced attacking midfielder.
