What could be better than Clasico
To drown the sorrow of cruel elimination in the semi-finals of the Champions League? 5 days after his Homeric match against Inter Milan (3-4 AP), Barça puts the cover against his biggest rival, this Sunday (kick-off at 4:15 p.m.).
Leader of the Liga, the Catalan club would take an almost define-define advance in the event of a victory against the reigning champion, since it would widen the gap at 7 units, 4 games from the end. This shock is therefore as symbolic as it is important on the accounting level.
Robert Lewandowski, serial goalscorer of Barça.
Once again, Hansi Flick will approach him with an incomplete workforce. The German technician must do without the services of Jules Koundé, who had already missed the trip to San Siro after being injured in the first round against Inter (3-3).
Can Lewandowski start?
To replace Koundé, Eric García should still help out the right side after being a scorer in Milan. The highly contested Gerard Martín, who responded to criticism on Tuesday evening, will occupy the left flank to support a central hinge Martinez-Cubarsi.
If the pair Pedri-de Jong will continue in the midfield, the offensive animation constitutes the other question of this pre-match. Back on Tuesday, can Robert Lewandowski be established? If this is the case, Ferran Torres will find his role as a joker, even if he can also evolve lower, in the position of Dani Olmo. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are obviously expected from the start to illuminate this clasico.
The expected composition for Barça : Szczęsny – Eric García, Iñigo Martínez, Pau Cubarsí, Martín – Pedri, by Jong –
Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Raphinha – Lewandowski.
