Barcelona predicted starting XI against Real Betis | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will now be playing their final game at the Spotify Camp Nou for this season with a game against Real Betis to wrap up their home fixtures for this campaign. Moreover, it is set to be Robert Lewandowski’s final appearance in a Barça shirt in front of the home crowd as well.

Keeping that in mind, Hansi Flick’s team would want to give the Polish ace the proper send off that he deserves for his years of service. For that reason, a slightly rotated line-up might be played but with enough quality to hurt Real Betis as well.

Here is how Barcelona could line up for this La Liga fixture.

Goalkeeper: Wojciech Szczesny 

With Joan Garcia being the favorite to win the Zamora Trophy at the end of the season, and with the La Liga title already wrapped up, Wojciech Szczesny should continue to start for the team.

Right-back: Jules Kounde

These last few games could be decisive in understanding what role Jules Kounde will play next season for Barça. With Eric Garcia impressing throughout the season, the Frenchman needs to take any opportunity that he can get to showcase his own quality.

Centre-back: Pau Cubarsi 

Despite his age, Pau Cubarsi remains a general at the back for Barcelona. His leadership and quality on the ball are unquestionable, and they could both be useful in a game like this.

Centre-back: Alvaro Cortes

Solid in his previous outing, and with La Liga already wrapped up, starting him here again might not be a bad idea. In front of the home supporters, the young defender might be even more confident to perform well.

Left-back: Joao Cancelo

With Joao Cancelo starting, Barça often end up with more creativity on the left flank than they do with Alejandro Balde. For that reason, his technical ability could be decisive against a side like Real Betis.

CDM: Gavi

Always intense and energetic, Gavi has gradually found his best version again. Thanks to that, Hansi Flick’s team looks and feels a lot more versatile and strength, and the youngster’s drive only further improves the team’s morale.

CDM: Marc Bernal

His physicality and technical ability provide a unique blend that a lot of other Barcelona midfielders do not possess. Starting him in this game could give Barça an edge in terms of duels when it comes to the midfield.

RAM: Roony Bardghji 

Underwhelming in his last appearance, the young Swedish winger might get another chance to start here but if he does he will need to make it count.

CAM: Dani Olmo

A specialist in tight spaces, Dani Olmo could manoeuvre his way out of Real Betis’s intense pressure and find options easily. Moreover, he has the ability to find the back of the net if necessary as well.

LAM: Raphinha

Always eager to make an impact in any game he plays in, and with Marcus Rashford being unlikely to start here, Raphinha is the best option to start out wide on the left despite having recently returned from his injury.

Centre-forward: Robert Lewandowski 

With this being his final game ever at the Spotify Camp Nou, Barcelona will want to ensure that the Polish ace leaves on a high. The veteran will be looking to leave with a goal or more himself as well.
