Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Real Betis | OneFootball

Barcelona are set to take on Real Betis this evening, in what will be the team’s final home game of the season.

It will be an emotional one for Robert Lewandowski, who is set to play his final game at Camp Nou after announcing he is leaving the club at the end of the season.

The Pole naturally starts the game against Betis. He will lead the Barcelona frontline alongside Raphinha and Fermin Lopez.

Hansi Flick, though, has reportedly reserved a substitute for Lewandowski, so that Barcelona fans can give up a standing ovation later on in the game.

In midfield, Flick has opted for the double-pivot of Marc Bernal and Pedri, who is on the verge of bagging a lucrative contract from Adidas.

Gavi also starts and is likely to operate in the creative role. It is an important game for Gavi to perform, as he makes a late push to be included in the Spain squad for the FIFA World Cup or at least remain in Luis de la Fuente’s list, in case someone gets injured.

In defence, Flick has opted for Joao Cancelo and Jules Kounde as the two fullbacks while Pau Cubarsi has been rested in favour of Eric Garcia and Gerard Martin’s partnership.

Alvaro Cortes, who started in the last game, is not a part of the squad.
