Official: Barcelona starting lineup vs Eibar

Unsurprisingly, Ronald Koeman has made several changes to his side that will take on Eibar in the final matchday of the La Liga campaign. Instead of going for the 3-5-2, he has used so often this season, the Dutchman has chosen to deploy a 4-3-3. Youth stars Oscar Mingueza, and Ronald Araujo start as the centre-half pairing, with speedsters Junior Firpo and Sergino Dest on the left and right fullback positions respectively. Neto takes the gloves in Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s absence.

Frenkie de Jong was suspended for the game against Celta Vigo but makes a return now. He will be paired up with Ilaix Moriba and Sergio Busquets. Pedri was granted the permission to start his holidays and is missing from the team, while Riqui Puig starts on the bench.

Lionel Messi, too, is rested, an his position has been occupied by Antoine Griezmann, who is presumed to start through the centre. Fransisco Trincao gets the nod on the right for his third start of the league season. The lineup is rounded off with Ousmane Dembele, presumably on the left side of the attacking trident.

Confirmed XI: Neto; Dest, Araujo, Mingueza, Firpo; de Jong, Busquets, Ilaix; Trincao, Griezmann, Dembele

This game could very well be the last for several players in the starting XI, including the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Antoine Griezmann, Sergio Busquets, Junior Firpo, Neto, and even Ronald Koeman. Either way, Barcelona will be the spectators today as Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid battle it out for the league title.
