Marc-André ter Stegen
The guardameta of Mönchengladbach will play his second consecutive party after recovering of his injury in the back. Against the Granada, fit three goals and saw 'prejudiced' by the defensive fragility of which has been victim, from does long, the Barça. Ter Stegen Signed key interventions against the nazaríes, but was not sufficient to brake the bloodletting goleadora.
Koundé-Araújo-Iñigo-Cancel
In the defensive saga there will be a modification regarding which went out against the Granada. Everything seems to indicate to that Ronal Araújo will go in in the alignment, after resting in the past weekend by overload muscular. It could accompany him Iñigo Martínez in the axis of the saga, with the option of Pau Cubarsí in the recámara. Joao Cancel will go back to split like left side when the Barça do not have balloon and more advanced, almost like extreme, to the hour to attack.
Christensen-Of Jong-Gündogan-Pedri
In the centre of the field, will repeat the formula by which carries betting Xavi Hernández in the last weeks. Andreas Christensen would split like the most retarded midfield player, beside Frenkie of Jong. In a more advanced position, to improve his offensive capacities, will be Ílkay Gündogan and Pedri González. The intervention 'constant' of both will be key so that the Barça have options to live in field of the Celtic.
Lewandowski-Yamal
Finally, in the forward will repeat the 'couple' of these last parties. Robert Lewandowski will split as '9' to try 'desestabilizar' the central vigueses. It comes of two consecutive parties marking, against Sportive Alavés and Granada, by what will want to extend his series. Lamine Yamal will be his companion to give continuity to the good dynamics of these weeks. It annotated a doublet and finish as 'MVP'.
