Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Mallorca

Barcelona will take on Mallorca tonight at the Olympic Lluis Montjuic following their dreadful 0-0 draw against Athletic Club last weekend. With the Napoli game and injuries in mind, Xavi has made several changes to the starting lineup.

Starting from defence, Inigo Martinez comes in to replace the suspended Ronald Araujo. He will partner Pau Cubarsi in defence — this is the first time this season this pairing will start together.

They will be flanked by Jules Kounde, who starts as the right-back, and Joao Cancelo, who continues to provide width from the left. Marc-Andre ter Stegen will occupy the goal behind them.

Andreas Christensen continues as the holding midfielder once again, while Ilkay Gundogan retains his spot in midfield.

However, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong both injured, Xavi has opted to use Raphinha as the third midfielder instead of going for Fermin Lopez.

Interestingly enough, Robert Lewandowski has been rested, too. It is not Vitor Roque who starts in his place, though, but Marc Guiu has been given the nod as the centre-forward.

Lamine Yamal takes charge of the right-wing, while Joao Felix comes into the side on the left side of the front-three.
