The staff of Ronald Koeman has several players that find lesionados, with annoyances or still recovering of ailments, as they are the cases of Ter Stegen, Mingueza, Dembélé, Ansu Fati and the Kun Agüero. With Leo Messi already out of the team, Koeman will have to configure an eleven in which Memphis Depay and Griezmann will be the big appeals in the forward.

Ronald Koeman​ and his players will try to win the party in front of a Real Sociedad that also has been preparing to piecework in the last weeks of face to the start of the championship. The Dutch technician has not summoned to Umtiti, Pjanic neither Coutinho, leaving clear that the Barça does not have they and that at present follows them looking for an exit in the market of signings.

When treating of a rival of height and of the first official party of the season, Koeman will present an eleven fully competitive headline, with the majority of his best available players. It will be necessary to see if the state anímico after the course of Messi affects or no to the players culés, that will have to leave the skin to win to the 'txuri urdin'. The Barça will not be able to especular: it is necessary to begin LaLiga winning, and more still with the return of the fans in the Camp Nou.

The XI of FC Barcelona and Real Sociedad:

• XI of the FC Barcelona: Net; S. Dest, Hammered, Eric García, Jordi Alba; Busquets, Pedri, Of Jong; Griezmann, Memphis and Braithwaite.
• Bench of the FC Barcelona: I. Crag, Emerson, Lenglet, S. Roberto, Araújo, Riqui Puig, Demir, Nico, Gavi, Manaj, Balde and Arnau.
• XI of the Real Sociedad: Remiro; Zaldúa, Aritz, Him Normand, Aihen; Zubimendi, Silva, Merino; Januzaj, Oyarzabal and Portu.

The FC Barcelona, with Sergio Busquets like first captain, will have to look for the contrary goal and not to trust any moment, without doing grantings in defence like which has facilitated in the last seasons. If the culés wish to go back to win the affection of the fans culé, will have to sweat the T-shirt as never and bend, by the maximum possible difference in marker and game, to a Real Sociedad that will go out with ambition and that, the past campaign, already showed to be one of the best teams of the championship.
