The changes that Xavi could introduce for Barça-Betis

This next Saturday, in the second official meeting of the course in Montjuïc, the FC Barcelona will receive the visit of the Real Betis. The team sevillano represents surely the most demanding rival from it futbolístico in what it goes of season for the team of Xavi Hernández. The ones of Pellegrini bet by a vertical game, although the greater problem for the culés is that they will play the meeting after the first stop of selections of the course and 72 hours afterwards, in the same stage, will have the première in the Champions 2023/24.

The Amberes Belgian will arrive to the Estadi Olímpic in what they would have to be the first three European points of the season for the Barça, but to ensure this result surely the technical body culé will have to opt for doing rotations in League. With Lewandowski contesting almost 200 minutes with Poland, or Gündogan and Koundé confronting this Tuesday (21:00 hours) after already add 90 minutes the context 'invite' to do rotations.

Xavi needs to bet by his basic wardrobe

In east start suspender belt the Barça has been able to play each 8 days and except the setbacks of Ronald Araújo and Pedri, in addition to the annoyance of Balde in Villarreal has not had to change too much the XI, but now the situation is distinct. Thus names like the one of Ferran Torres, Íñigo Martínez, Marcos Alonso or Sergi Roberto win a lot of chevrons to be from the beginning in front of the béticos.

At least three of these names, adding also to an option like Fermín, expelled this weekend with the filial, surely can be in the eleven headline of Xavi in front of a Betis that will look for to give another trip to the Barça in this League. Joao Félix, without minutes in the first duel of Portugal, also raises the hand to give rest to players like Gavi, Lewandowski, Raphinha or Lamine Yamal.

The attack of the Barça already thinks in Europe

In the case of the two left-handed extremes, the first played everything with Brazil the past Friday and has to visit Peru the morning of the Wednesday, whereas the canterano of 16 years could add more minutes in front of Cyprus and take care it physically and mentally after his first announcement with Spain would have felt. With this on the table, remains clear that the Barça and Xavi think in putting the best possible for his première in the Champions League, a competition in which they have remained to owe in the last two seasons.
