FC Barcelona faces Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup and there are very few doubts that Xavi Hernández has about the line-up he will bet on
The FC Barcelona can win his first trophy of the season this Sunday, in the final of the Supercopa of Spain in Saudi Arabia in which it will confront to the Real Madrid of Carlo Ancelotti. The Barcelona arrive after winning to the Real Betis in batch of penaltis after having remained 2-2 in the extention and will look for, in front of the eternal rival, go back to celebrate a title.
For the Classical, Xavi Hernández has his complete staff. There is not lesionados neither sanctioned, by what all seems to indicate to that will give continuity to what better has worked him in this course. The only doubt roots in if it will play with three or four midfield players for 'brake' to the madridistas. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments.
Likely alignments of the Real Madrid-FC Barcelona
- XI of the Real Madrid: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Rüdiger,Mendy; Kroos, Valverde, Modric; Rodrygo, Benzema and Vinicius.
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Araujo, Kounde, Christensen, Alba; Busquets, Gavi, Of Jong; Pedri, Dembélé and Lewandowski.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta of Mönchengladbach is the big 'manager' that the Barça have reached the final of the Supercopa of Spain, turning into the most differential footballer against the Real Betis after signing several unemployed keys in 120 minutes of game and, besides, detain two launchings from the point penalti. Against the Madrid, will have to be very attentive to the forwards that are a danger inside the area, but also with the shot in the middle distance of Kroos and especially Fede Valverde that already has annotated him several goals.
Araújo-Koundé-Christensen-Alba
In the defence, everything seems to indicate to that Ronald Araújo will happen to play like right-handed side to repeat the formula that served in the 0-4 of Santiago Bernabéu to brake to Vinicius. Jules Koundé would happen to play like head office, accompanied by Andreas Christensen, whereas in the left band there are two options: Jordi Alba or Alejandro Balde. The captain, by experience, aims to the titularity.
Gavi-Busquets-Of Jong
In the centre of the field begin the doubts regarding the alignment of Xavi, because against the Betis played with three midfield players and left to Busquets in the bench, but in front of the Real Madrid no descarta that the '5' go back to occupy the position of pivote and are Gavi and Frenkie of Jong the interiors, something that would leave to Pedri González like false extreme.
Dembélé-Lewandowski-Pedri
In the forward, in front of the Real Betis, went out Raphinha by the right and Dembélé in the left to accompany to Lewandowski as '9'. Xavi could repeat the plan, with the Brazilian or even Ansu Fati, but Pedri aims to appear as false extreme and would leave to Dembélé by the right-handed band to accompany to the Pole.
