Official: Barça XI vs Valencia

Valencia at Mestalla is never an easy task, and Ronald Koeman knows all about it. At this point, Barcelona’s charge for the La Liga is out of the hands, but they will want to go out in a blaze of glory. For the job against Valencia tonight, Koeman has decided to go for the 3-5-2.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen continues in goal in the hope of winning some confidence from the fanbase. Ahead of him, Gerard Piqué, Ronald Araujo, and Lenglet form the last line of outfielders.

Frenkie de Jong’s involvement was never a doubt, and after Sergio Busquets’ performance against Granada, he retains his spot. Pedri comes in to round off the central midfield. Sergino Dest comes in on the right side of the wide midfield, while Jordi Alba assumes responsibility on the left side.
