"Barcelona are aiming to continue their dominance in Spanish football as they take on Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final in about an hour. Heading into this game, the Catalans have announced the starting eleven that will take on Los Blancos, with Hansi Flick not opting for too many surprises. Joan Garcia, an El Clasico debutant, starts in goal, backed by the defensive line of Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde."
"Flick has made the important decision of starting Eric Garcia in defence, while Frenkie de Jong has been slotted into a midfield place. This puts Gerard Martin out of the eleven. De Jong will operate alongside Pedri in the double-pivot, with Marc Casado serving as backup. In the attack, Flick has opted for Robert Lewandowski ahead of Ferran Torres, which was one of the coach's biggest dilemmas heading into this game. It is a glorious opportunity for Lewandowski to prove himself. As for the rest of the Barcelona frontline, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha starts out wide as usual."
Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final with Hansi Flick naming a largely expected starting eleven. Joan Garcia makes his El Clasico debut in goal alongside Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde. Eric Garcia's inclusion and Frenkie de Jong's move into midfield displace Gerard Martin. De Jong partners Pedri in a double-pivot with Marc Casado as backup. Robert Lewandowski starts up front ahead of Ferran Torres, while Lamine Yamal and Raphinha occupy wide positions. Fermin Lopez is preferred to Dani Olmo for the attacking midfield role, with Olmo likely to feature later.
