It returns Robert Lewandowski. That surely is the headline for the party of this Thursday of the FC Barcelona in Saudi Arabia. The culés will confront to the Betis from the 20:00 hours in the second semifinal of the Supercopa of Spain, which could mean the first title of the season for the Barcelona club, in addition to the first also for Xavi like technician in the football of elite.
The eleven Catalan can present in Riyad will suffer minimum modifications with regard to the that attained three points in the Metropolitan the Sunday. Lewandowski By Ansu could be the only novelty, in fact. Further of the return of the Pole, the technical body could bend also by Jordi Alba in time Balde to try be deeper by the left sector and try repeat with four mediocampistas.
Likely alignments of the Athletic-FC Barcelona
- XI of the Real Betis: Rui Silva, Sabaly, Edgar, Pezzella, Miranda, Guido Rodríguez, W. Carvalho, Luiz Henrique, Fekir, Channels and Borja Churches.
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Ter Stegen, Koundé, Araujo, Christensen, Jordi Alba, Busquets, Of Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Dembélé and Lewandowski..
Ter Stegen-Koundé-Araújo-Christensen-Alba
The best defence of the Spanish football. This is what could plant Xavi in the King Fahd Stadium thinking in obtaining another arch in zero. In a semifinal to only party a guardameta like the German could be decisive and more in front of Borja Churches that arrives in one of his best seasons. The right side of the defence with Koundé and Araújo seems simply inmejorable, although the option to give him rest to the Uruguayan also is a possibility. By his part, Christensen follows having solid performances and Alba has recovered the confidence of the trainer.
Busquets-Of Jong-Gavi-Pedri
If the defence begins to consolidate, the midfield of the Barça already has done it does time. The novelty of Frenkie like titling in the Metropolitan opens the possibility to that it was an increasingly frequent alternative, although the others three already know to perfection. The captain, one of the best pivote of the history, beside two of the most promising interiors of all the world.
Dembélé-Lewandowski
Although there would be a natural left extreme, the French and the Pole will go on doing his usual functions and will expect that Pedri can associate with Alba by the left, whereas Gavi will be surely this player that arrive by surprise to try close some centre of Ousmane or filter a last pass to a Lewandowski that arrives more than rested after have not played the last two parties of the Barça.
