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

FC Barcelona are getting ready to kick off their game against Real Sociedad soon. Away from home for this fixture, La Blaugrana know that the atmosphere will likely be tense and the opposition will not want to give them any kind of consolation here.

For that reason, it is hardly surprising to see Hansi Flick make use of his squad depth and field some of his best players. After all, the Catalan giants are after all three points in this match.

Here is the official Barcelona starting eleven for this game.

In goal, unsurprisingly, Joan Garcia starts for FC Barcelona as the main man between the sticks. He has been in fine form recently, and Hansi Flick will be hoping for more of the same from him in this game.

As for the defense, Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia start as the two centre-backs and they will look to make life difficult for the Real Sociedad forwards. They will also be crucial to helping out the team build up from the back.

On the flanks, Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde take charge as the two starting full-backs for the team. Both players will be looking to cover a lot of ground, but be accessible in both attack and in defense.

In the midfield, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong start together as the double pivot. Both players will have to be at the top of their game to control the tempo of this match, and Barça can expect great things from them.

Over in attack, Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez occupy the wide areas, while Dani Olmo starts as the central attacking midfielder. All three players will have a big responsibility in this game, and they will need to deliver as required.

Lastly, Ferran Torres starts at the top of the team’s attack as the primary centre-forward. He scored a great goal in his last game, and he will be looking to have an impact on this match as well.
