“It is a satisfaction for all of us that Dembélé is on the team and I think he will participate for a few minutes if we see fit.
“We’re thrilled that you can play and get it right.”
Bayern appear to be positioned to pass to the end, having scored a double in Germany and swept Chelsea in their last European match.
Barca, for his part, has lost his Name of LaLiga to his rival Real Madrid and has had trouble convincing in recent months.
But Setien remains optimistic about his chances and says, “Of course we are convinced that we can pass.

“We know the potential of the opponent, their strength and their abilities, with ordinary potential, but we also have it.
“It will be an equivalent match. We have a lot to say in this game.”
The coach needs Lionel Messi not to stay to do the job, even if he is most likely to play a key role.
“Leo can help win the game, obviously, but I believe in team strength,” Setien said.
We’ll have Leo because Messi, like any other exceptional player, is weaker without the strength of the team.”
