Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Osasuna | Spanish Super Cup semi-finals

Barcelona will hope to put their performance from the 2-3 win against Barbastro aside as they take on Osasuna in the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals. The Catalans are the defending champions, and will be hoping that winning it again can be the turning point of the season for them.

With a few key players injured, Xavi has gone for his best available starting lineup for the game. Pedri makes the bench, but Joao Cancelo has been rested entirely following an injury to his knee.

Ferran Torres gets the nod over Joao Felix, flanking Robert Lewandowski from the left side of the front-three, while Raphinha retains his place in the lineup after a goal and assist on the weekend.

The midfield features Ilkay Gundogan as the pivot, as he has so often played this season, while Frenkie de Jong takes over the spot on the other side. Captain Sergi Roberto is the final piece of the trident.

Moving behind, Jules Kounde presumably takes over from Cancelo as the right-back, while Alejandro Balde has been brought back in to provide width from the left. Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen will guard Inaki Pena in goal.
