Official: Barcelona starting lineup to face Real Madrid
Xavi faces arguably his biggest challenge yet as he sets his Barcelona team to take on Real Madrid in gameweek 29 of La Liga. There are three changes from the starting XI that faced off against Galatasaray in midweek.
Firstly, Sergino Dest has been replaced by Ronald Araujo, who starts on the right of the back-four. Jordi Alba retains his place on the left side. This full-back duo will be flanking Eric Garcia and Gerard Pique as they take their place in the heart of the defence. Marc-Andre ter Stegen continues in goal.
In midfield, there are no changes as Sergio Busquets takes responsibility of the captain’s armband as the defensive midfielder. He will be accompanied by Frenkie de Jong and goalscorer in midweek Pedri.
Finally, in attack, we see Ousmane Dembele return to the starting XI as the right-winger. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang takes his place as the striker after an impressive display in the Europa League, while Ferran Torres starts in his second El Clasico ever.
