The FC Barcelona has to show that the announcement of the course of Xavi Hernández affect to the traced back that it has to try do the team in League. After the defeat against the Villarreal, the third in what it goes of championship, the culés can not 'trip' in any meeting more if they still dream in reengancharse to the 'fight' by the title suspender belt.
The Girona, leader, already takes him out eleven points to the Barcelona, the Real Madrid, second, takes him out ten, and the Athletic already is third with the same points that the culés. Win to Osasuna this Wednesday is much more that necessary not to lose even more 'comba' with the ones of up, not allowing that the colchoneros strengthen in the third place and also to move away to the Athletic of the Champions, since the 'lions' are to alone two points of the fourth place.
To surpass to the navarros Xavi will have another drop more, in addition to the already known of Alejandro Balde, Sergi Roberto, Ter Stegen, Raphinha, Iñigo Martínez and Marcos Alonso. It treats of Joao Félix, that will not be neither in the bench and that right now is doubt for the gone of eighth of Champions against the Napoli. Thus, the trainer has not had any doubt in the tripleta of attack with which will go out in front of the 'rojillos'.
Alignments of the FC Barcelona - Osasuna of LaLiga
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Crag; Koundé, Araújo, Cubarsí, Joao Cancel; Frenkie of Jong, Gündogan, Pedri; Lamine, Lewandowski and Ferran.
- Bench of the FC Barcelona: Astralaga, Oriol Romeu, Vitor Roque, Casadó, Kochen, Unai, H. Fort, Fermín and Christensen.
- XI of the Osasuna: Aitor Fernández; David García, Unai García, Herrando; Areso, Torró, Aimar Oroz, Moncayola, Mojica; Arnaiz and Budimir.
With Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres in the line of attack, and the tripleta Frenkie/Gündogan/Pedri in the centre of the field, the only novelty of the Barcelona against Osasuna is in defence. Pau Cubarsí, acting in the last two meetings, returns to the XI initial to the detriment of Christensen. The canterano is giving a very high level since it debuted and will have another opportunity to follow showing that it can have an important role in this team.
In addition to the canterano, in defence also goes back to the eleven headline Joao Cancel. Already it expected the titularity of the Portuguese, but does not leave to be reseñable his turn. It will play of left side in front of the drop of Alejandro Balde and seems that in what it subtracts of season here is where more minutes will have. Jules Koundé, therefore, follows like carrilero right, a position that does not like him too much, but that goes him to touch occupy a lot by fault of the mentioned 'KO' of Balde.
