Real Sociedad and Barcelona will face each other in a match in which the culés have to go for three points to catch up with Girona in the standings and be able to participate in the next Spanish Super Cup. The Basques want to continue adding to prevent Betis from getting closer. We leave you with the possible lineup of Barcelona:
BY: TER STEGEN – The German goalkeeper is now back with the team and is being one of the best players in this second half of the season. He is indisputable for Xavi Hernández and in each match he makes some very worthwhile saves. The Blaugrana need him at his best level for this clash.
LD: KOUNDÉ – A permanent fixture for Xavi, and even more so with all the injuries in the team. The Spanish coach also does not have the squad to try rotations, much less at such important moments of the season as this one. And after the last duel that led to elimination from the Champions League, defense once again becomes essential.
DFC: ARAUJO – The Uruguayan once again has a place in Xavi Hernández’s eleven after having performed at a highly disputed level. When he is fit, he is the leader of the Blaugrana defense.
DFC: CUBARSI – Cubarsí has emerged as a fundamental pillar in Barcelona’s defensive backline. His ability to anticipate the opponent’s movements and his dueling skills make him a reliable defender for the team.
LI: CANCEL – The Portuguese full-back is increasingly comfortable on the left wing. Although some recent performances have been criticized, the defender is essential in Xavi Hernández’s scheme, especially when he joins the attack, with a great ability to cut inwards and look for long-distance shots.
MC: PEDRI – The Spanish midfielder will be the starter in this match, and after the injury he is coming back in, but he also has no choice, since now with De Jong’s injury, Barcelona’s midfielder rotation is once again very short.
MC: CHRISTENSEN- His transformation to defensive midfielder is going quite well, and although he is not performing like others from the past like Busquets, injuries and the poor performance of players like Oriol Romeu have forced him to adapt to his new temporary role.
MC: GUNDOGAN – The German midfielder brings experience and class to Barcelona’s midfield. His ability to distribute the ball and his accuracy on long-range shots can be dangerous for any opponent.
ED: LAMINE YAMAL – The youth player is one of the most important assets of the Barça team in attack. His imbalance will be key in this duel in which the Blaugrana team needs a victory, so they will have to be brave and go all out.
DC: LEWANDOWSKI – The Pole is currently going through a good moment of form after a difficult start to the season. He doesn’t have the best scoring numbers of his career, but he’s still a big threat to opposing defenses, so if he has a chance inside the box, chances are he’ll end up in the goal.
EI: RAPHINHA: The Brazilian winger has been the best player on the team in recent games. He is in the best version of himself since he landed in Barcelona, and the Catalans are clinging to him to achieve a good result in his stadium.
This is what the formation would look like (1-4-3-3)
Goalie: Ter Stegen
Defenses: Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo
Midfielders: Christensen, Gundogan, Pedri
Attackers: Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha
