Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Real Sociedad | OneFootball

Barcelona will be looking to reclaim their four-point advantage at the top of the table as they take on Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena.

Heading into this game, the club have announced their starting eleven that will take on Los Txuri-Urdin this evening.

The Barça lineup is headlined by the omission of Raphinha, who was left out of the squad due to a not-so-serious fresh knock.

Raphinha has been replaced by Fermin Lopez, who is likely to occupy the wider attacking positions alongside Lamine Yamal.

Another big decision taken by Flick revolves around Robert Lewandowski, who starts on the bench with Ferran Torres leading the Barcelona frontline.

Dani Olmo completes the Barcelona creative line, although one would expect the Spaniard to lend support to the midfield comprising Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.

De Jong once again benefits from the fact that Eric Garcia is starting at centre-back, alongside Pau Cubarsi.

Elsewhere, new signing Joao Cancelo and youngster Gerard Martin start on the bench, with Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde operating as fullbacks.

Ronald Araujo and Marcus Rashford are among the players available on the bench, with both players looking to make an impression at the Reale Arena tonight.
