FC Barcelona receives at 9:00 p.m. this Saturday Vallecano Rayin the match corresponding to the first day of LaLiga. The Catalan squad arrives following a resounding victory (6-0) once morest the UNAM Pumas for the Joan Gamper Trophyat a Spotify Camp Nou that will be packed and eager to see Xavi Hernández’s ‘new’ team in action once more.
The coach will have his best weapons and it will be the first time that we will see who will be the coach’s favorite eleven for this season. Nevertheless, the names of Martin Braithwaite and Samuel Umtiti have not entered the call because they are on the exit ramp. The Dane would be close to seeing his contract terminated while ‘Big Sam’ is in Lyon negotiating his future.
With this on the table, it will be Marc-André ter Stegen who will guard the three sticks while Sergi Roberto, Ronald Araújo, Eric García and Jordi Alba will be behind. For its part, Andreas Christensen will be waiting, while Jules Kounde will be taken into account for the next match once the club closes its registration. Sergiño Dest, who does not finish convincing the coach, would have been left out of the list due to a technical decision.
In the midfield, the undisputed Sergio Busquets and Pedri will start, while Gavi would be the complement of the trident. For his part, Franck Kessi is the Frenkie de Jong They will be the trigger for the second half, leaving Miralem Pjanic as an alternative in case ‘Busi’ is replaced. Already on the offensive front will be Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembélé, with Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati as relays. Memphis Depay, who is working on an exit, might not see any minutes as will Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who remains in Chelsea’s sights.
