FC Barcelona and Real Madrid<\/strong> face each other this Sunday, May 11th in a true final for the title of LaLiga EA Sports 2024\/25<\/a> at Montju\u00efc. Both teams arrive at matchday 35 separated by 4 points, with an advantage for the Azulgrana team with only four matches left in the season. <\/p> Bar\u00e7a arrives physically and mentally diminished after the elimination in the Champions League against Inter, but with the excellent news of the returns of Alejandro Balde and Marc Casad\u00f3<\/a><\/strong>, in addition to a Robert Lewandowski who already had minutes on Tuesday in Milan.<\/p> We review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes’ bench, and the injured and suspended players of Barcelona<\/strong>. Hansi Flick’s possible lineup for Barcelona vs Real Madrid \u00a1Complete analysis!<\/p> Probable starting XI for Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> Bar\u00e7a’s bench (substitute players):<\/strong><\/p> Injured players for Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> Suspended players for Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> In principle, Flick plans to keep his lineup from the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Inter Milan, again with Eric Garc\u00eda in place of the injured Jules Kound\u00e9 and Ferran Torres as the team’s ‘9’.<\/p> Goalkeeper and defense:<\/strong><\/p> Szczesny will be in goal, while Eric Garc\u00eda and Gerard Mart\u00edn will be the full-backs instead of Kound\u00e9 and Balde, the latter returning to the squad and available on the bench. In the center of defense, I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez will once again partner Pau Cubars\u00ed, with Ronald Araujo waiting for his opportunity on the bench.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Midfield:<\/strong><\/p> As a pivot, Frenkie de Jong will be there again. The Dutchman will once again be Pedri’s partner in midfield, while Dani Olmo will be the team’s attacking midfielder. Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez, who scored a goal against Valladolid on Saturday, could also return to the XI in the Cl\u00e1sico, while Marc Casad\u00f3 will be back as a substitute.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Attack:<\/strong><\/p> In attack, Raphinha and Ferran Torres complete the Azulgrana attack alongside Lamine Yamal. The ‘Shark’ remains as the team’s ‘9’, although Robert Lewandowski will be available on the bench.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> The injuries of Jules Kound\u00e9, Pablo Torre, and Marc Bernal<\/strong> represent a significant setback for FC Barcelona in the final stretch of the season.<\/p> Below, we detail the individual impact of each absence due to injury<\/a><\/strong> on the team.<\/p> Impact:<\/strong> Bernal, one of the revelations from the youth academy, suffered a serious knee injury (rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament) and is out for the season.<\/p> \t<\/li> \t In summary, the absences of Kound\u00e9, Torre, and Bernal force Flick to rethink his strategy in terms of variants on the bench for the match against Real Madrid<\/strong>. Defensive solidity, creativity in midfield, and depth to make rotations in the second half are affected, but the team trusts in the quality of its squad to overcome this challenge, with the majority of starters available.<\/p> Real Madrid, for their part, arrive at the match against Barcelona with multiple absences due to injury<\/strong>. In addition to the absences of Dani Carvajal and \u00c9der Militao, out for the entire season due to serious injuries, Los Blancos will also not be able to count on Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, and David Alaba, all three injured for the final stretch of the season along with Antonio R\u00fcdiger.<\/p> The German is also suspended after his regrettable behavior in the Copa del Rey final, which means Carlo Ancelotti will have to bet again on Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni as Ra\u00fal Asencio’s partner<\/strong> in the center of defense. The full-backs will be Lucas V\u00e1zquez and Fran Garc\u00eda, while Fede Valverde and Dani Ceballos will be in charge of containment in midfield.<\/p> Further forward will be Jude Bellingham and Arda G\u00fcler, the latter in great form in the last three weeks<\/strong>, with a couple of goals and assists. In attack, there will be Vinicius and Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, with Rodrygo, Brahim D\u00edaz, and Luka Modric waiting for their opportunity on the bench.<\/p>
