Official: Barcelona announce starting lineup to face Rayo Vallecano

As Barcelona get set to play their final home game of the season, manager Xavi Hernandez has announced the starting lineup that will face Rayo Vallecano at Montjuic.

There are a few changes made to the team that started against UD Almeria in the midweek, with the first one coming in defence where Joao Cancelo replaces Hector Fort at left-back.

Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, and Inigo Martinez complete the rest of the Barça defence that will shield Marc-Andre ter Stegen in goal.

Meanwhile, Ilkay Gundogan makes his back into the starting XI, slotting in as one of the four midfielders in the side.

He will have Sergi Roberto and Fermin Lopez, who scored twice in the last game, as partners in midfield, with Pedri dropping out.

Up top, Raphinha returns to the side, slotting out wide on the left while Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal complete the frontline.
