"A victory will take the Blaugrana four points clear at the top of the table, and ahead of kickoff, manager Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup that will take the field against the Yellow Submarine."
"The big news is that Alejandro Balde is back in the starting XI after being left out by Flick in the last two matches. He takes his usual spot on the left side of the defence, replacing Joao Cancelo."
"Up ahead in midfield, Flick has opted not to risk Pedri from the start despite Frenkie de Jong's absence through injury. Instead, the Barcelona manager has opted for a midfield trident of Marc Bernal, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez against Villarreal."
Barcelona prepares to host Villarreal at Spotify Camp Nou in a crucial La Liga match. A win would extend Barcelona's lead to four points at the top of the table. Manager Hansi Flick has made several lineup adjustments: Alejandro Balde returns to left-back after missing two matches, replacing Joao Cancelo. Pau Cubarsi partners Eric Garcia in central defense following Gerard Martin's suspension. Jules Kounde continues at right-back with Joan Garcia in goal. Midfield features Marc Bernal, Dani Olmo, and Fermin Lopez, with Pedri rested despite Frenkie de Jong's injury absence. Ferran Torres, on his 26th birthday, leads the attack instead of Robert Lewandowski, flanked by Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.
