Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Real Sociedad
Barcelona are champions of La Liga, and they will celebrate it later tonight when they take on Real Sociedad at the Camp Nou. With four games remaining, the Catalans will look to rotate their side, experiment, and give minutes to fringe players.
Xavi has opted to use a traditional 4-3-3 for this game, with Robert Lewandowski spearheading the attack. He will have Raphinha on his right side, while Ousmane Dembele gets the nod at the left-wing.
Behind them, Franck Kessie takes Pedri’s place in central midfield with Pedri injured and Gavi rested. Captain Sergio Busquets starts as the pivot, while Frenkie de Jong aids him as the 8.
Ronald Araujo is also injured, which means Jules Kounde gets to play in his preferred centre-back role. Andreas Christensen partners him, while Alejandro Balde is used as the right-back. Jordi Alba rounds off the back-four, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the goalkeeper.
