Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Real Madrid | Spanish Super Cup Final

Barcelona have the chance to right the wrongs of the league tonight as they take on Real Madrid as part of the Spanish Super Cup final. They overcame Osasuna 2-0, while Carlo Ancelotti’s side put up an eight-goal thriller against Atletico Madrid, winning 5-3.

Following Raphinha’s injury in the semi-finals, Xavi has been forced to make a couple of changes to the starting lineup, and has a surprise for the fans, with Sergi Roberto starting on the right-wing as part of a four-man midfield setup.

Ferran Torres is presumably on the other side of the trident as the left-winger, with the license to rove inside, playing off of Robert Lewandowski, who starts as the no. 9.

Pedri is back in the starting lineup after a superb cameo against Osasuna. He missed four Clasicos in a row before being given the medical green light to start tonight.

Frenkie de Jong is the other player in central midfield, while Ilkay Gundogan has been asked to man the pivot position.

In defence, meanwhile, Jules Kounde retains his spot as the right-back, while Ronald Araujo has been placed as one of the central defenders alongside Andreas Christensen. Alejandro Balde is the final piece of the back-four that will screen Inaki Pena.
