Leader of the Liga, winner of the King's Cup and winner of the Spanish Super Cup, Barça continues to dream of a fantastic quadruple this season. But for that, the Blaugrana will have to pass the obstacle from Inter Milan to the stadium of the semi-finals of the
Champions Leaguein a highly anticipated remake of the 2009-2010 edition.
A meeting that the Catalan club approaches with a blunt workforce and lessened. While the rate imposed by an infernal calendar begins to leave traces, as evidenced by the second part of the Clasico against Real Madrid on Saturday (3-2 victory in extra time), Barcelona must also deal with an absence of a brand.
Robert Lewandowski, serial goalscorer of Barça.
Robert Lewandowski has been on the side for two weeks. Top scorer of the club, the Pole remains an element of experience capable of switching a high altitude meeting. And once again, Ferran Torres should take place in the axis to replace it alongside Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
Several options for the role of number 9
Another alternative would consist in directly replacing Raphinha in a role of number 9. The Brazilian international, who has never been so decisive since the start of his career, has shown great predispositions to this position. To complete this offensive animation, Dani Olmo, very versatile and capable of projecting into this role, should have a notable influence.
Lower in the midfield, the metronome Pedri and the very active of Jong are expected, in front of a central defense Cubarsi-Martinez. Koundé and Martin should be aligned on the sides. SZCZESNY will hold its place in the goals of the Catalan club.
The expected composition for Barça: Szczesny; Kounde, Cubarsi, Martinez, Martin; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Torres.
