The next Barcelona match is upon us! The Blaugrana travel to Palma de Mallorca for a game against Mallorca at Son Moix to begin their defense of the La Liga title, and Hansi Flick has called up the following 23 players for Saturday’s clash:
Goalkeepers: Iñaki Peña, Joan Garcia, Diego Kochen
Defenders: Alejandro Balde, Ronald Araujo, Pau Cubarsí, Andreas Christensen, Jules Kounde, Eric García, Jofre Torrents
Midfielders: Gavi, Pedri, Fermín López, Marc Casadó, Dani Olmo, Frenkie de Jong, Dro Fernández, Guille Fernández, Toni Fernández
Forwards: Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Marcus Rashford
The good news for this one is that Barça achieved their two biggest goals ahead of the season opener, registering Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford in time for the trip to Son Moix. Wojciech Szczesny, Gerard Martín and Roony Bardghji have not been registered yet, however, and are forced to sit this one out. Marc-André ter Stegen (back), Robert Lewandowski (hamstring) and Marc Bernal (knee) are out due to injury, while Oriol Romeu and Héctor Fort are no longer in the coach’s plans and are also left out.
Predicted starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Garcia; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsí, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Fermín, Raphinha; Ferran
The match kicks off at 7.30pm CET (Barcelona), 6.30pm BST/WAT (UK & Nigeria), 1.30pm ET, 10.30am PT (USA), 11pm IST (India), and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action.
