Like this then , the culés arrive with very good feelings to the European debut.

Xavi will activate the plan of rotations

The technician of the Barcelona 'pateará the board' and will enter a series of changes in his initial alignment to confront to the Czechs.

The right side would follow being occupied by Jules Koundé, the one who left a big performance in front of his ex team. The centre of the saga would be conformed by Ronald Araújo and Andreas Christensen, the one who would go in in place of Eric García. Finally, Jordi Alba would recover the titularity and would give him rest to Alejandro Balde.

In the midfield, the egarense would go back to use the one who went his trident preferred during the past season. Sergio Busquets, Pedri and Frenkie of Jong would be the chosen to go out from the start. The Dutch would go back to the alignment in place of Gavi, the one who would be one of the 'sacrificed' of Hernández after the big effort made by the Andalusian in Nervión. By his part, so much 'Busi' as the Canarian would follow being headed by the 'room of machines' Catalan.

The culés negotiate the traspaso of the player with the arábigos and his exit could concretise in the next hours.

Likewise, so much Marcos Alonso like Héctor Bellerín will have to expect a bit more to première like barcelonistas. Both sides arrived in the last hours of the market of signings after being long in the ostracism while they resolved his futures, reason whereby his state of form is not the best. Thus, the egarense decided to expect and left them out of the list, by what his big opportunity would arrive the weekend in front of the Cádiz.
