Although the injuries and the demanding Barcelona calendar have forced to the egarense to rotar, for the moment there are seven pieces 'intocables' in the diagram culé, from Marc-André ter Stegen until Robert Lewandowski.

As it has been habit from the 2015/16, the German has played it everything in League and Champions. The '1' began the season exhibiting the brilliant level of the 2022/23, but had a bad night in Sound Moix in front of the Mallorca. By his part, the alone Pole rested in the visit to Palm, a party where equally ingresó in the half final hour in front of the problems of the Barça to avoid the defeat. After two days in white, the '9' recovered his smell goleador and already adds 6 so many and 4 assistances.

Gavi And Gündogan, keys in the centre of the field

In the centre of the field, the drop of Pedri gave back to Gavi the leadership that had lost during the pre-season. The '6' was acting in front of the Getafe and from the party in front of the Cádiz has played it all, being the 'soul' of the team, like Xavi has defined it. The Andalusian visits the field the 90 minutes, giving a hand in all the lines when the things complicate . Thanks to his sacrifice and criterion, the Barça has attained to go out to float in spite of the injuries.

Koundé And Romeu have kept order defensive

The Frenchman has assumed the leadership of the saga after the drop of Ronald Araújo, arming a reliable pair with Andreas Christensen. By his part, Romeu neither has desentonado like pivote and only was acting the Friday in front of the Seville, like part of the rotations of Xavi.

The defensive work of the Catalan has given more balance to the diagram culé and, with the presence of Joao Cancel in the eleven, his work is key to throw a hand backwards in front of the continuous rises of the luso. The side and his compatriot, Joao Félix, are the others key pieces of the new Barça, being fixed from his arrival in September.
