FC Barcelona and Naples face each other this Tuesday, in the round of 16 second leg of the Champions League (9 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Catalan club.
It is a large part of the end of the season that Barça plays this Tuesday evening, at Camp Nou, against Napoli, for their second round in the round of 16 of the Champions League. Held in check by the Italian team in the first leg (1-1), the Blaugrana are up against the wall.
Xavi gave a very strong speech to the press. “ The important thing is the club. I’m not important here, I already have an expiration date. The important thing is that we are competitive and that the fans are united in a full stadium, and that they experience a magical night. This is the scenario and the mentality of Barça supporters tomorrow. I see this as an opportunity, but I don’t want to play my personal card tomorrow. »
Xavi seeks the happy medium
It remains to be seen with which starting eleven the Catalan technician will approach this match. The main question lies in the middle with the packages of two major elements: Frenkie De Jong and Pedri. Romeu would be expected to start alongside converted defender Christensen to support the irremovable Gündogan.
Behind, the good news concerns Araujo, who should make his return to central defense alongside Martinez. Koundé would thus slide onto the right side, while Cancelo would keep his place on the left. Finally, up front, Barça could rely on a trio combining youth and experience with the Yamal-Lewandowski-Joao Felix association.
The expected line-up for Barça : Ter Stegen (cap.) – Koundé, Araujo, Martinez, Cancelo – Christensen, Gundogan, Romeu – Yamal, Lewandowski, Joao Felix.
