It’s the shock of the day in La Liga. FC Barcelona travels to the Athletic Club pitch this Sunday at 9 p.m. for the 27th day of La Liga, a match to follow live on our site. After Real Madrid’s controversial draw against Valencia (2-2), the Catalans have the opportunity to come back to within six points of the Madrid leader in the event of a victory this evening. They also have four victories in the last five matches.

To do this, Xavi aligned a 4-4-2 with a dense midfielder composed of Pedri, De Jong, Christensen and Gündogan. The club’s new nugget, Cubarsi, starts in defense alongside Koundé, Araujo and Cancelo. On the Basque side, Ernesto Valverde chose to trust Berenguer to replace the suspended Nico Williams.

The official compositions:

Athletic Club: Simon – Prados, Yeray, Paredes, Imanol – Vesca, Garcia – Iñaki Williams, Gomez, Berenguer – Guruzeta

FC Barcelona : Ter Stegen – Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsi, Cancelo – Pedri, De Jong, Christensen, Gündogan – Raphinha, Lewandowski.
