FC Barcelona and Real Madrid<\/a> <\/strong>face each other this Saturday, April 26, <\/strong>2025<\/strong> in the 2024-2025 Copa del Rey final<\/strong>. The ‘Azulgrana’ team is looking for its 32nd title in the tournament and the first step towards a new treble.<\/p> After an intense semi-final against Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid, Bar\u00e7a arrives undefeated in the Cup with a balance of 4 wins and 1 draw in which they scored 19 goals<\/strong>, conceding another 5. Hansi Flick’s team, in addition, are leaders of LaLiga and semi-finalists of Champions, a month before the end of the season.<\/p> We review the possible starting lineup, the substitutes bench and the injured and sanctioned players of Barcelona<\/strong>.<\/p> Probable starting XI of Bar\u00e7a: <\/strong><\/p> Bar\u00e7a’s bench (substitute players): <\/strong><\/p> Injured players of Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> Sanctioned players of Bar\u00e7a:<\/strong><\/p> In principle, Flick plans to make several adjustments to his lineup compared to the match against Mallorca. <\/p> Goalkeeper and defense:<\/strong><\/p> Szczesny will be in goal, while Kound\u00e9 and Gerard Mart\u00edn will return to the flanks after a day of rest. In the center of the defense, I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez will occupy the place of Ronald Araujo, accompanying Pau Cubars\u00ed.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Midfield:<\/strong><\/p> Another one who will be back on Saturday is Frenkie de Jong. The Dutchman will once again be Pedri’s partner in midfield, while Dani Olmo, a figure in the victories against Celta and Mallorca with a goal in each match, will once again be the team’s attacking midfielder.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> Forward:<\/strong><\/p> In attack, Raphinha and Ferran Torres complete the ‘Azulgrana’ attack alongside Lamine Yamal. The ‘Shark’, Bar\u00e7a’s top scorer in the Cup (5) will be the team’s ‘9’ in the absence of Robert Lewandowski, injured since the match against Celta.<\/p> \t<\/li> <\/ul> The great novelty of the call for the Copa del Rey final, without a doubt, is the return of Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen<\/a>. The German received medical discharge after seven months and 217 days of absence due to the rupture of the patellar tendon of his right leg, shortening his return by about a month.<\/p> However, the injuries of Lewandowski, Alejandro Balde, Casad\u00f3 and Bernal<\/strong> represent a significant challenge for FC Barcelona in this decisive stretch of the season.<\/p> Below, we detail the individual impact of each absence due to injury<\/a><\/strong> in the team.<\/p> The Polish striker, without a doubt, will be the team’s most sensitive absence to face Mallorca. Lewandowski was injured in the League match against Celta<\/a><\/strong> on Saturday, April 19.<\/p> Impact:<\/strong> After scoring 25 goals in the 32 matchdays of LaLiga<\/a><\/strong> played so far, and although the ‘9’ could not shake the nets against Betis (1-1), Legan\u00e9s (0-1) and Celta (4-3), his presence in the area is key to freeing up spaces for Lamine and Raphinha, who lose their main reference.<\/p> \t<\/li> \tHansi Flick’s possible lineup for Barcelona vs Real Madrid \u00a1Complete analysis!<\/h2>
