Hansi Flick picks Barcelona Fc XI with Lewandowski, Bardghji

Barcelona fc will start Robert Lewandowski and Roony Bardghji against Osasuna tonight at 21:00. Hansi Flick has kept the lineup mostly intact from the 0-2 win at Getafe, with one change that matters at the back. Eric Garcia comes in for the suspended Jules Koundé.

Joan Garcia Keeps the Goal

Joan Garcia starts in goal behind a defense of Eric Garcia, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín and Cancelo. Gavi and Pedri form the double pivot, with Roony Bardghji, Olmo and Fermín playing behind Lewandowski.

It is a lineup built around regular starters. Flick has only adjusted one spot from Getafe, and that keeps the structure of the side familiar before the Clásico run-in.

Bernal and Raphinha Wait

Bernal and Raphinha received medical clearance on Saturday morning and will begin on the bench. Szczesny, Eder Aller, Espart, Balde, De Jong, Casadó, Bernal, Raphinha and Ferran Torres are also listed there, giving Flick options if he needs to change the game.

De Jong, Bernal and Raphinha are one booking away from suspension for the Clásico against Real Madrid on Sunday 10 at 21:00 at the Spotify Camp Nou. Barcelona could move 14 points ahead of Real Madrid overnight if they beat Osasuna, so the result carries more than just three points before that matchup.

Christensen and Yamal Out

Barcelona’s other injury absences are Andreas Christensen and Lamine Yamal. Christensen may be able to play before the end of the championship, while Yamal will keep recovering to be ready for the World Cup.

That leaves Flick with a front line that can attack Osasuna from the start and a bench that still includes players returning from medical clearance. The shape is clear: Barcelona are chasing a result tonight while trying to arrive at Sunday’s Clásico with as many controlled minutes and available bodies as possible.
