Barcelona have officially named their starting XI for the final match of their South Korea tour, with Hansi Flick introducing a number of changes to freshen up his side against Daegu FC.
This comes after two relatively strong line-ups in the earlier fixtures, especially in the clash against Seoul FC, where Flick fielded a team close to his preferred starting group for competitive matches.
One of the standout decisions is the inclusion of Pedro ‘Dro’ Fernandez, who missed out on action against Seoul. Flick has handed the youngster a starting role, offering him another opportunity to prove himself.
Meanwhile, Gerard Martín is being used as a left-sided centre-back, highlighting the coaching staff’s willingness to test tactical flexibility in pre-season.
In goal, Joan Garcia keeps his place, having now established himself as a regular presence during this Asian tour.
With physical fatigue starting to kick in and the oppressive humidity in Daegu, Flick has chosen a more balanced starting XI.
Despite the rotations, the front three remains untouched, showing Flick’s confidence in the attacking trio of Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha.
Their consistent presence suggests that Flick is already shaping the attacking core of his team heading into the new season.
Once the match in Daegu concludes, Barcelona will make their way back to Seoul and then return to Spain.
The team will enjoy a short break before taking centre stage in the Joan Gamper Trophy next Sunday. That game, which will be held at the Johan Cruyff Stadium, will see Barça face Italian side Como.
