FC Barcelona-Osasuna: Possible lineups for the 'semi' of the Spanish Super Cup

The FC Barcelona will confront to Osasuna in the second semifinal of the Supercopa of Spain this Thursday, from the 20:00 hours in Saudi Arabia. The Barcelona arrive with the need imperiosa to claim in this tournament that already conquered in 2023 winning to the Real Madrid in the final. The feelings of the culés are not good and this meeting in front of the 'rojillos' is key to start with to 'despegar' at last. The blaugrana will have in front to a solid team without at all that lose that it goes to put the very difficult things, as they already did in League, where the Catalans, won thanks to a so much of penalti of Lewandowski near of the 90 of game.

Xavi Hernández, therefore, will put to his eleven players more in shape to try arrive to the final of the tournament. The Barça has the safe drops of Ter Stegen, Gavi, Marcos Alonso and Iñigo Martínez, that travelled to Arabia without options to play, and the doubts of Joao Cancel and Pedri, that could have minutes in the second part if have good feelings with his respective injuries. By all this, the technician does not have too where choose and could say that only there will be one 'surprise' regarding the seen these last weeks.

Likely alignments of the FC Barcelona-Osasuna of Supercopa

• XI of the FC Barcelona: Iñaki Crag; Koundé, Araújo, Christensen, Balde; Frenkie of Jong, Sergi Roberto, Gündogan; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.
• XI of the Osasuna: Sergio Herrera, Areso, David García, Catena, Rubén Crag; Iker Muñoz, Moncayola, Arnaiz, Aimar Oroz, Moi Gómez; Budimir.

Iñaki Crag

The performance of the canterano has gone down regarding his first parties, but still like this there is confidence in that it do a good paper in Arabia. Crag has showed character and personality to be important until it go back Ter Stegen and has an only opportunity to be decisive in the conquest of a tournament, in case that the FC Barcelona finish winning the Supercopa.

Koundé-Araújo-Christensen-Balde

With Joao Cancel still with 'annoyances' and with Iñigo Martínez descartado totally, Xavi does not have any doubt in the defence. Jules Koundé will go back to be the right side of the team, with Araújo and Christensen like head offices and Alejandro Balde in the left. It expects that the '3' achieve to be at last important in attack, something that resists him this season and that has done that there are doubts with him.

Frenkie-Gündogan-Sergi Roberto

In the medullary only there is a doubt, although all aims to that in the head of Xavi all is clearer of what seems. Frenkie Of Jong will be the pivote, with Ilkay Gündogan to a side of interior and, if it does not happen at all odd, Sergi Roberto to the another. The Barcelona captain did a partidazo against the Almería, also was well in The Palms and this seems that it goes him to cost to play in Arabia. Fermín López, that marked and surrendered very well in Glass of Rey, except surprise will expect in the bench, and Pedri if it recovers also will be acting.

Raphinha-Lewandowski-Ferran

It expects that Xavi bet by the same forward that against The Palms, especially after the abysmal meeting of Joao Félix in Glass of Rey, that probably him 'will command' to the bench. Raphinha, that claimed in Barbastro, will go out in the right, and in spite of the presence of Vitor Roque there is not any doubt that Robert Lewandowski will be the '9'.
