OFFICIAL<\/strong>: The starting lineups for Hansi Flick’s Barcelona<\/strong> and M\u00edchel’s Girona<\/b> have now been confirmed for today’s match, Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 16:15 hours<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>

Hansi Flick is going with five changes compared to the last La Liga starting XI. Eric Garc\u00eda<\/strong> returns to the center of defense alongside Pau Cubars\u00ed, while Alejandro Balde<\/strong> replaces Gerard Mart\u00edn as left back. Marc Casad\u00f3<\/strong> also returns as a pivot, while Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez occupies the attacking midfielder role in place of the injured Dani Olmo.<\/p>

In attack, there are also important developments. Lamine Yamal<\/a> returns to the right side, while Marcus Rashford will be the team’s ‘9’ given the absences, due to injury, of Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres. Raphinha is also unavailable, and Toni Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong> receives his first big opportunity at Bar\u00e7a.<\/p>

Below, we review the starting elevens<\/strong>, the benches<\/strong> with the substitutes, and the injured and suspended players<\/strong> of FC Barcelona and Sevilla FC<\/strong> for the match of the eighth round of LaLiga EA Sports 2025-2026.<\/p>
