FC Barcelona’s Key Players

Barcelona will enter the match with notable talent on the field. Ferran Torres, who has recently recovered from a hamstring overload, is expected to play a crucial role. Earlier in the season, Torres impressed as he took the lead in the attack while Robert Lewandowski was sidelined due to injury.

  • Ferran Torres – Key forward
  • Marcus Rashford – Wing player in absence of Raphinha
  • Lamine Yamal – Young star competing against Real Madrid
  • Midfield Trio:
    • Pedri
    • Frenkie De Jong
    • Fermín Lopez (recent hat-trick hero)

Defensive Lineup Challenges

The main concern for Barcelona’s defense lies with Ronald Araujo, who will not start due to injury. Eric Garcia will take his place, supported by Pau Cubarsi and full-backs Jules Koundé and Alejandro Balde. This formation aims to strengthen Barcelona’s defense against the powerful offense of Real Madrid.
