Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Real Madrid | OneFootball

Barcelona have announced cthe starting eleven that will take on Real Madrid tonight, with the Catalans looking to secure the league title.

Dealing with the loss of his father earlier in the day, Hansi Flick has not too many defensive changes to the side that secured a win against Osasuna last time out.

Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martin will form the central defensive pairing, with Eric Garcia and Joao Cancelo operating as fullbacks.

Barcelona have gone with a very aggressive midfield, with Pedri anchoring the two creative midfielders in Gavi and Fermin Lopez.

This means coach Flick has Frenkie de Jong and Marc Bernal as potential alternatives, should he require more control in the middle of the park.

Things get interested in the attacking unit, with Dani Olmo and Marcus Rashford operating as wide players.

They get the ahead of Raphinha, who starts on the bench and will hope to make an impact after coming on as a substitute later in the game.

Ferran Torres, meanwhile, spearheads the Barcelona attack ahead of Robert Lewandowski, who starts on the bench as he looks to make a final decision on his future.
