FC Barcelona travels this weekend to the Estadio de la Cerámica to continue their good run in LaLiga. One more victory could make Xavi and his men provisionally distance themselves 11 points from Real Madrid. Here we leave you the possible alignment that the Tarrasssa coach has in mind.
BY – Ter Stegen. After a time in which he sowed more doubts than certainties, he has returned to the level to which he accustomed us, possibly in one of the best moments of his career.
RHP – Jules Koundé. With the ball he will close as the third center-back and without the ball he will restructure in defense of four as a winger. He is being one of the key players in Xavi’s scheme tactically.
DFC- Araujo. He is in the race to become the best centre-back in the world. He is the man who puts out all the fires of the FC Barcelona defense. When he has not been available he has been greatly missed.
CB – Andreas Christensen. The Dane arrived as a rotation player and has made his place in the starting eleven of FC Barcelona. The release of the ball from him is being key to taking the position, he has gradually gained the confidence of the Camp Nou.
LI- Bucket. He is already one of the best left-backs in the world. He is physically privileged and is learning from one of the best arrivals as Jordi Alba has been in his position. When Barcelona has the ball, Alejandro gains a lot of height inside the field.
CDM – Frenkie De Jong. This new version of Frenkie de Jong does convince all the culé fans. This time he won’t have Busquets by his side, but he will be supported by Pedri and Gavi. Neither of these two will play as a false winger, they will both be midfielders.
MC- Pedro. He is the player who is benefiting the most from playing with four midfielders. He has a lot of freedom to appear in the areas that he considers and give fluidity to the circulation of the FC Barcelona ball.
MC-Gavi. He is another of Xavi’s key players due to his sacrifice when it comes to putting pressure on after losing up front. This time playing in 4-3-3 his functions will be different.
DE – raphinha. He has the opportunity that he wanted so much to have continuity on the right wing of Barcelona. Now without Dembélé he is the reference on the side. He has matches ahead of him to show that he’s not just a pretty lefty.
DC – Robert Lewandowski. The goal man of this squad. Barcelona’s success this season is largely thanks to the Pole. He makes the difference inside and outside the area despite the fact that he looked rusty in the last game. He has been standing for a long time.
EI- Ansu Fati. From the player’s environment they consider that they are not giving him the opportunities he deserves and that they are giving other players his age like Pedri, Gavi or Araujo. Against Villarreal he aims to start.
