Both teams are making some adjustments to their lineups, with the &#8216;cul\u00e9s&#8217; looking to close the season with a victory before going on vacation.<\/p>  <h2>FC Barcelona&#8217;s starting lineup against Athletic Club<\/h2>  <p><strong>Hansi Flick<\/strong> introduces three changes compared to the XI against Villarreal. <b>Alejandro Balde<\/b> returns to the left side in place of Gerard Mart\u00edn, and <strong>Ronald Araujo<\/strong> will partner Pau Cubars\u00ed in the center of defense.<\/p>  <p>However, the main novelty is <strong>the return of I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a in goal for the first time since matchday 20<\/strong>, against Getafe (1-1). Eric Garc\u00eda remains on the right side due to Jules Kound\u00e9&#8217;s absence, with Gavi as pivot.<\/p>  <p>Similarly, <strong>Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez continues in midfield<\/strong>, accompanying Pedri, while Lamine Yamal and Raphinha complete the offensive trident alongside Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>  <p><strong>Bar\u00e7a&#8217;s starting XI (OFFICIAL):<\/strong><\/p>  <ul> <li> \t<p><strong>Tactical note:<\/strong> Eric Garc\u00eda is the right-back.

I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a returns as starting goalkeeper, while Araujo and Cubars\u00ed will be leaders of the defense, with Eric Garc\u00eda and Alejandro Balde on the flanks. Gavi and Pedri direct the center of the field, with Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez as attacking midfielder behind the trident formed by Lamine, Raphinha, and Lewandowski.<\/p>  <p><strong>Goalkeeping and defense:<\/strong><\/p>  <ul> <li> \t<p><strong>A starting defense:<\/strong> Eric Garc\u00eda returns as right-back due to Jules Kound\u00e9&#8217;s absence.
