The Barça team faces a very delicate match in Group E of the Champions League. They have lost to Bayern München (0-3) and Benfica (3-0), so they need to add three points to get closer to both and fight for a place in the round of 16.
Ronald Koeman cannot allow himself to make rotations receiving Dynamo Kiev this Wednesday despite the fact that on Sunday he does the same with Real Madrid in LaLiga, always being one of the most important clashes of the year. He will have to put all the meat on the grill to score the first points in the group stage and not lose weight for the second round. The eleven we think he will bet on, in a 4-2-3-1 system, is the following:
The German goalkeeper has played every possible minute in LaLiga and the Champions League since he recovered from the postoperative period on his knee. In eight games he has conceded 11 goals and has only been able to leave the door to zero on two occasions. His presence is not negotiated if he is available, unless you want to leave the Copa del Rey to another goal.
The left-back was able to complete the contest against Valencia after recovering from his muscle injury and not having had minutes despite entering the call-up before the break. It is important to be able to keep him fresh for the Classic and not take risks if the continental game goes well.
The French center-back has been present in four games this season and only one of them as a starter. An expulsion of Eric García in LaLiga allowed him to start from the beginning, something that can be repeated in the next appointment adding the injury of Ronald Araújo.
The Spanish defender has completed the last four LaLiga games and rested against Benfica playing just over half an hour. The losses in defense and his hierarchy make his absence practically impossible except for the last minute news.
The right-back has missed two games, one of them due to injury, all season. He has started eight of the nine he has played, although on both sides and even as a winger. His presence before a predictable Ukrainian team will be important to give amplitude.
The Spanish pivot is another of the non-negotiable, having been a starter in all the games so far this season and captain in them. He is a firm candidate to be replaced if the stake advances positively for Barça interests, but he must start from the beginning.
The Dutch midfielder has started in all the games played, missing only one due to a double warning in LaLiga. It could be another of the possible substitutes, but from the beginning he must be counted on in the starting eleven.
The Spanish and Bisauguinean left winger saw the goal again in what was his first start since he recovered from the meniscus injury. Catching a rhythm to start starting and completing matches is predicted as a key in the face of the rival goal.
The Brazilian midfielder has started in three of the seven games he has played. The need to win may invite Ronald Koeman to opt for a more offensive eleven in which, after scoring a goal against Valencia, he can appear.
The Spanish midfielder adds four starts in eight games, settling little by little in a first team where it will be necessary to see what role he has once Pedri González returns. It is possible that its presence alternates in the medullary as in the extreme right, thus varying the system.
The Dutch center forward comes from adding a goal and an assist in the last game and has started all the games so far this year, playing all the minutes. As Sergio “el Kun” Agüero picks up pace, he can be dosed more often.
