Hansi Flick's five new 'signings' for the Clásico against Real Madrid

FC Barcelona is preparing for the duel against Real Madrid on August 4 after the match against Manchester City. After this good preseason debut against the English, the Blaugrana will try to continue with those same feelings against the meringues. Hansi Flick will also be able to count on up to five new players who could not be in front of Pep Guardiola's team.

Mika Faye, Gündogan, Raphinha, Christensen and Ter Stegen could make their debut this preseason in the Clásico against the Madridistas. In the case of the Senegalese, he missed the match against City due to physical discomfort, but it seems that he is fine and that he will have minutes against the whites. On the other hand, Andreas Christensen, who was not against the British either due to the decision of his coach, who preferred to reserve him, will also play in the early hours of this Sunday for sure.

The other three starters who will play in the Classic

Ilkay Gündogan and Raphinha, who joined the preseason at the start of the American tour, will also have minutes against Madrid. The Brazilian and the German will surely not be starters, although it is not ruled out that they will be. What is certain is that their coach is going to test them at some point during the match to see how they have returned from vacation.

Finally, Ter Stegen aims to start ahead of Iñaki Peña. The German goalkeeper has been training for a week now and it would be strange not to see him at the start in this Classic. This, however, will be a chore for Ander Astralaga, who was the hero of the penalty shootout that Barcelona won against Manchester City. If Marc-André has minutes, Peña will come out in the second half and the third goalkeeper will be left without playing here despite his merits from a few days ago.
