Barcelona enters this match very motivated after a 2-1 home victory against Real Madrid: Sergi Roberto and Kessie signed the goals of this excellent victory. Xavi is expected to put his team in a 4-3-3 tactical formation, where Ferran Torres, Robert Lewandowski and Gavi are the most advanced players. It should be noted that Franck Kessié occupies a freer position, immediately behind the strikers. Apparently, coach Xavi will not be able to count on Ousmane Dembélé, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, Andreas Christensen and Ronald Araújo as they are, at this stage, recovering from injury. It should be noted that Raphinha will also be out because he is serving a suspension, due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Confirmed Lineup: Marc-André ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, Jules Koundé, Marcos Alonso, Eric García, Ronald Araujo, P. Paez Gaviria, Sergi Roberto, Robert Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferrán Torres.
Coach: X. Hernández.
