Barça closed the year 2022 with a derby against Espanyol marked by controversy after the precautionary suspension of the penalty in Robert Lewandowski. The Pole’s presence clarifies Xavi’s options to form an attacking trident and the coach’s doubts seem to be in the defensive line, because Eric Garcia have discomfort, Araujo received a medical discharge yesterday but they don’t want to take any chances and Koundé He just came back from vacation after the World Cup.
Because of this, the couple Christensen–Mark Alonso It is the one that a priori has the most numbers to form the beginning of the rear axis. The Dane was one of the first to return from Qatar and the man from Madrid played some good games before the break occupying that position. They are like that Sergi Roberto will again have ownership on the right side and on the left sunrise Y bucket They fight for the square. Both finished the year in top form and Xavi you have to choose.
In the middle of the field, with everything available, the first bet points to Busquets, Peter Y Dejongalthough that doesn’t rule it out Gavi could occupy the place of the Dutch.
And the attack is ‘forgiven’ Lewandowski have a fixed place and their companions can be Ferran Torres Y Ansu Fati, who were precisely those who opposed the Pole’s position. the extreme raphinha Y Dembeleone of the last to return from the World Cup, will wait for their chance on the bench.
For the first time all season, Xavi He had the whole squad and no damage whatsoever. If you see yellow, Busquets the clash against Atlético de Madrid next week will be missed.
