Official: Barcelona’s line-up vs Real Madrid | OneFootball

The XI of players called upon by La Liga champions Barcelona for their upcoming showdown with Real Madrid has been officially unveiled online.

Blaugrana boss Hansi Flick will for his part not be eligible to take his place on the touchline for the evening, but has called upon a strong group of stars to represent him.

The major calls come at centre-back and in midfield, where Eric García is favoured to Ronald Araújo, and Fermín López is rewarded for his midweek hat-trick with a 2nd successive start.

The latter call means that Marc Casadó is forced to make do with a place on the bench at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Visitors Barca head into Sunday’s action buoyed by complete dominance against Real Madrid in the 2024/25 campaign.

Across a quartet of meetings in all competitions last season, the Catalans secured four wins, crucial to an eventual domestic treble.

Should they continue this streak in Spain’s capital this evening, Hansi Flick’s troops will leapfrog their hosts, to take their place back atop the La Liga table.
