For Barça-Getafe, this Saturday afternoon (4:15 p.m.), Xavi revives Raphinha and Joao Félix alongside Robert Lewandowski at the expense of Pedri and Lamine Yamal.

Only three days after the draw in Naples (1-1), in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League, Barça continues with the reception of Getafe at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, this Saturday (kick-off 4:15 p.m.), for the count of the 26th day of La Liga. The Blaugranas can come back to within five points of Real Madrid if they succeed against this 10th in the standings.

Catalan coach Xavi shakes up his attacking trio as Pedri and Lamine Yamal give way respectively to Raphinha and Joao Félix in order to feed Robert Lewandowski. Andreas Christensen is returned to number 6, while Jules Koundé starts well on the right.

Marcos Alonso, Alejandro Baldé and Ferran Torres are unavailable, in addition to Gavi who will not play again for the season.
