The FC Barcelona follows working in winning titles this season. In this mission the Glass of the King is a very attractive tournament, although the draw has put to a complicated Real Sociedad like the rival of the quarter-finals. In front of this, Xavi Hernández is in front of the option to plant all the best that has on the field and try carry the triumph in the 90 minutes in the Spotify Camp Nou.
The calendar is not being easy for any team this season, but much less for the biggest clubs. The Barça has had to travel recently to Saudi Arabia, where won the Supercopa, and some days afterwards to Ceuta to obtain his pass to this round of the Glass. By this reason also is important that the Barcelona team could carry the victory, without forcing extention or penaltis.
Without any lesionado, neither sanctioned, the technician egarense could do that Ter Stegen debut in this edition of the tournament, in addition to putting again to four midfield players from the beginning. The bet of Busquets, Pedri, Gavi and Of Jong like headlines surrendered very well in front of the Athletic and the Real Madrid, by what surely repeat, adding them to Lewandowski and Dembélé.
Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Real Sociedad
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Araujo, Christensen, Alba; Busquets, Of Jong, Pedri, Gavi; Dembélé, Lewandowski.
- XI of the Real Sociedad: Álex Remiro; Elustondo, Him Normand, Zubeldia, Aihen Muñoz; Brais Méndez, Zubimendi, Pablo Marín; Robert Navarro; Sorloth and Kubo.
Ter Stegen
The guardameta German is being of the three better footballers culés in what it goes of the season. The '1' of Xavi could be determinant in front of the Basques, and thus Iñaki Crag would return to the bench. The canterano came being the headline in the two first meetings, but the differential level of Ter Stegen could be something key in front of a Real that has had an almost perfect course.
Koundé-Araújo-Christensen-Alba
The doubts of the technical body for the party of this Wednesday surely was in the left side of this line of four defenders. Andl Danish went out the Sunday in the rest with some annoyances, but is totally available for the commitment. Balde Also was substituted in the half of the party and with an alternative of a lot of more confidence could have an additional rest.
Busquets-Of Jong-Gavi-Pedri
The own Xavi elogió the level of his midfield. For the míster the level of Gavi is being of the best of all the European football, whereas to Dutch stood out it like a big pivote, although certainly also fulfils very well with his work like interior. The option of four mediocampistas has given result and playing like venue earns even more sense.
Lewandowski-Dembélé
The two better attackers of the Barça this season. Simple like this. The Pole and the French have known to understand very well with the midfield players culés to the hour to filter passes and find the spaces. The '9' rested the weekend, and will do it also the Saturday in front of the Girona, by what his titularity is totally guaranteeed.
