FC Barcelona-Villarreal: The possible lineups for matchday 22 of LaLiga

The FC Barcelona goes back to LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024 with the intention of 'revive' after the eliminatory of the Glass of Rey, in quarter-finals and in hands of the Athletic Club. The Barcelona will try to make a fresh start to try a traced back that, to day of today, seems complicated. They are to eight points of the leadership, occupied by the Girona, although with a party less. They would have to win it all and expect that so much the picture gerundense like the Real Madrid leave points on the way.

It is thus that impose in front of the Villarreal, this Saturday from the 18:30 hours (6:30 PM CET) supposes an obligation for the group of Xavi Hernández. The ones of Marcelino García Toral do not cross for one moment simple and are in a delicate position in LaLiga, more near of the places of promotions that of a possible participation in Europe. With all this in mind, the Barça has to be able to surpass them to keep 'alive' in the career by LaLiga. They will do it with several changes in the alignment:

Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona vs Villarreal of LaLiga

• XI of the FC Barcelona: Iñaki Crag; Koundé, Araujo, Cubarsí, Cancel; Frenkie of Jong, Gündogan, Pedri; Ferran Torres, Lewandowski and Lamine.
• XI of the Villarreal: Jörgensen; Femenia, Bailly, Cuenca, Alberto Moreno; Coquelin, Comesaña, Akhomach, Baena; Sörloth and Gerard Moreno.

Iñaki Crag

It will go back to be under the three sticks of the Barça after fitting, by third time in less than two months, four goals in a same night. It happened against the Girona, Real Madrid and Athletic Club. Although it can not argue that it has had important interventions, Iñaki Crag has not been able to impose in the areas and, in a lot of cases, the defence does not accompany him. It can be an ideal afternoon to try keep the goal to zero.

Koundé-Araújo-Cubarsí-Cancel

In the defence there is a new drop confirmed, Alejandro Balde, and keeps in the air the participation of Andreas Christensen that abandoned the field against the Athletic Club to the 70' and that, although it does not have an injury or important ailment, could rest. In this case, would be Pau Cubarsí the one who accompany to Ronald Araújo in the axis of the defensive saga. The right side would be for Jules Koundé and in the left band Joao Cancel would return to the titularity.

Of Jong-Gündogan-Pedri

In the centre of the field there will be any change and will keep the bet by who are called to lead to this Barça. Again, they will be Gündogan, Frenkie of Jong and Pedri those who lead the room of machines of the team. For the approach of Xavi, is vital that the three take a step forward, especially a Pedri that has not gone back to 100% after his injury. That the blaugrana can offer more solutions depends, of some way, of his mejoría.

Lamine-Lewandowski-Ferran

Joao Félix aims to remain again in the bench and Xavi could bet by the same forward that comes using in the last weeks, with Ferran Torres in the left band, Robert Lewandowski like the '9' of the team and Lamine Yamal in the right extreme. The juvenile left very good feelings in the clash in front of the Athletic Club and will keep the confidence in him. From the bench, the Portuguese, Vitor Roque and Marc Guir will be the alternatives.
