Official: Barcelona starting XI against Real Oviedo | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to kick off their game against Real Oviedo soon. Despite being away from home for this La Liga fixture, however, the Catalan giants should be the favorites to end up winning this game.

Still, no team in the top division of Spain can be underestimated. After all, that is exactly how points end up being dropped and those points can be crucial at the end of the season. For that reason, Flick has decided to field a reliable lineup for this game.

Here is the official Barcelona starting eleven for this La Liga clash.

In goal, unsurprisingly, Joan Garcia is the man starting for Barcelona. Having proven himself to be a reliable asset in between the sticks, the Spaniard seems to be a guarantee in Hansi Flick’s squad right now.

Ahead of him, Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo start as the team’s two centre-backs. They will need to help out Garcia as much as possible defensively, while also ensuring that progression of the ball remains smooth.

On the flanks, Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin start in defense. Both players have been in good form recently, and they will look to build on those strong displays against a side that has been struggling in La Liga.

In the midfield, Hansi Flick has decided to trust a double pivot of Pedri and Marc Casado. Both players possess great technical ability, and the two midfielders will be expected to deliver a strong collective performance in the middle of the pitch.

Up front, Marcus Rashford and Raphinha occupy the two wings for Barça. Both players will look to have a dynamic impact for the team, and Dani Olmo starts in between them as the central attacking midfielder with Fermin Lopez currently sidelined and not available.

Lastly, Ferran Torres is the player who starts as the team’s primary centre-forward. He will look to convert the chances that come his way, and make sure that he remains a threat to the opposition even off the ball with his pressing and positioning.
