Official: Barcelona name starting XI for Real Oviedo clash | La Liga | OneFootball

The game between FC Barcelona and Real Oviedo is set to kick off soon. For both teams, a positive result here could be crucial for their respective seasons, so both La Liga sides will be looking to play in the way that suits them best.

When it comes to Hansi Flick’s team, however, anything other than a win would be a bad result. For that reason, the German coach has decided to field a strong starting eleven for this clash at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Here is the official starting line-up for Barça against Real Oviedo.

In goal, Joan Garcia starts for FC Barcelona and he will look to keep Real Oviedo at bay. He has been a consistent performer for the team this season, and Hansi Flick trusts him to keep protecting the team’s goal just like that.

Ahead of him, Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martin start in defense together as the team’s centre-back partnership. Both players will need to be on their toes for this game, as Hansi Flick will certainly not appreciate any early slip-ups.

On the flanks, Joao Cancelo and Eric Garcia occupy the left and right full-back spots respectively. They will be tasked with a lot of responsibilities in this game, and they will need to ensure their commitment to those tasks.

In the midfield, with Pedri still injured, Barcelona will be lining up with Frenkie de Jong and Marc Casado in the double-pivot. Both of them will need to be at their best for this game to ensure that the team remains in control of proceedings.

Ahead of them, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha start as the two wide forwards in this starting eleven. In between them, Dani Olmo starts and he will look to help Barcelona out here as the central attacking midfielder.

Lastly, up top, Robert Lewandowski starts as the team’s primary target man. He will be expected to convert the chances that come his way while also helping out in terms of pressing and being a presence in the opposition box.
