The Barcelona the condition of winter champion of the Santander League is at stake this day against Girona. Rotations are expected in the blaugrana team, as confirmed Xavi Hernández, although he is always elusive about having a starting eleven. The culé coach prepares a line-up with novelties but competitive to face the people of Girona, even without those sanctioned Ferran Torres y Robert Lewandowski.
There are no rotations, the starting goalkeeper in the Barcelona is and will be Marc-André Ter Stegen. The German is in great shape and this year he could be facing a golden opportunity to win the Zamora trophy, something that has resisted him since his arrival at the Blaugrana team.
In the defense you will see the first rotations that you plan Xavi. Jordi Alba He will return to the left side and give rest to Bucket. He also reappears as a right-back Sergi Roberto as an alternative. The newly renovated Mark Alonso beside Koundé o Araujoone of the two will rest.
In the center of the field it is expected that Sergio Busquets rest and what Of Jong assume the role of pivot. Although Kessie could count on minutes, it seems more likely that Pedri y Gavi repeat in the starting eleven given the options that are expected offensively against the Gironarecovering the pure extremes, leaving the canary medium as an interior and not a false extreme.
Ansu Fati points again to starting at the point of attack culé. The youth squad player is not performing at his best level in the absence of Lewandowski in the League and it is something that the team is pale. Raphinha He will start again in the League as a winger, predictably on the left, leaving the right to a Ousmane Dembele’s that is fine fine, hence repeat ownership in this game.
