Barça got rid of Bayern’s thorn in the Champions League and Flick has nothing to do with the Blaugrana team that beat the Bavarians (4-1) to visit the Bernabéu. It is the first classic for the German coach, who uses the base of players who are giving him such good results at this start of the League. That means that Fermín is a starter in the midfield.
The Huelva footballer, Olympic champion, has just provided the assists for Barcelona’s first two goals against the Bavarians. Furthermore, he already knows what it’s like to play and score at the Bernabéu. He did it last season to put the momentary 1-2 in a duel that ended 3-2.
From the last classic
The entire midfield is new, with Pedri, Fermín and Casadó, who makes his debut in a classic and as a starter
From the line-up of the last classic, six months ago also at the Bernabéu, there are six changes, including the entire midfield. Then Christensen, De Jong and Gündogan played and this time Pedri, Fermín and Casadó, in their first classic.
For goalkeeper Iñaki Peña it is not his debut – he was in the final of the Spanish Super Cup, where he conceded 4 goals (4-1) – but it is his debut at the Bernabéu.
Only Cubarsí, Koundé and the three forwards Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Lewandowski repeat from the previous classic. Between the three of them, in great form, they have scored 29 goals in this wild start to the season.
