With the majority of the participants in the next World-wide of Russia with the pass ensured, the FC Barcelona goes back to the activity to the big, with a visit to the new stadium of the Athletic of Madrid. Wanda Metropolitan will give back to the Catalans to the reality after the national selections, and will be this Saturday from the 20:45 hours when the men of Ernesto Valverde confront to a proof more than demanding. The balance of the Barcelona against the team that directs the Cholo Simeone is very positive in the championship of the regularity, but there will be any confidence against a rival that always puts the very complicated things.
The announcement arrives again with few surprises, with the presence of Andrés Iniesta like novelty more stood out. In the chapter of absences there is not any decisive change, with Burn Turan again with moletias after a party with his selection and Thomas Vermaelen and Paco Alcácer accompanying to an Aleix Vidal to the that has touched him remain was. This is our forecast for the party:
Ter Stegen
The 2017-18 can be the season of the definite consecration of the guardameta of the Barça. The germano has achieved to move his big moment of form to his selection, doing with the place to title in the goal and planting like favourite for the next World-wide of Russia. This Saturday will be definitely one of the clearest elections of Ernesto Valverde.
Semedo-Hammered-Umtiti-Alba
After several parties giving relief to the headlines, foresees that Mascherano go back to the bench to leave step to the couple preferred by the technician in the centre of the defence. Beside Gerard Hammered and Samuel Umtiti would have to form Jordi Alba, the most used defence until the moment, to contain the offensive danger of the rojiblancos. The greater doubt in the retaguardia will be in the right side, since Nélson Semedo splits with a lot of options, but also could act Sergi Roberto if it does not occupy one of the places in the medullary.
Rakitic-Busquets-Paulinho
After celebrating his centenary with the Spanish selection, Sergio Busquets will go back to the eleven headline in a line that will be vital in the development of the meeting. Although it could surprise with the inclusion of Iniesta, the most logical would be that Valverde opt by some of the footballers that can award a greater balance to physical level, without descartarse the option to play with a 4-4-2. Beside the midfield player of Badia could situate Ivan Rakitic and Paulinho, with Sergi Roberto doing the functions of link with the forward if the side is for Nélson Semedo.
Messi-Suárez-Sergi Roberto
Although they have arrived this same Friday to the City Condal, Leo Messi and Luis Suárez aim to the eleven initial in the première in Wanda Metropolitan. There are several options between his companions, although of the participation of any of the alternatives will depend the training chosen by Valverde. In a 4-3-3 could go in Gerard Deulofeu, although it seems more likely the inclusion of Denis Suárez or, especially, Sergi Roberto, that could go in in a drawing that also could turn into a 4-4-2.
