Match preview

Barcelona is gearing up for its match against Atlético de Madrid at the Metropolitano tonight, and yesterday they had their last chance to prepare on their rivals' home turf, where they will face Cholo Simeone's team, which beat them 2-0 at the Spotify Nou. During training, Barcelona's German manager revealed some of his strategies for the match  against Atlético, as part of the training session was dedicated to the trial lineup for the game

A possible lineup

For this friendly, he positioned Jules Koundé alongside Gerard Martín in the team's defense. He also lined up Joan García as the goalkeeper for the match. He continued with the new summer signing, left-back Cancelo, and his counterpart Araújo on the right flank. Meanwhile, the midfield is made up of Eric García and Pedri, with the forward line tasked with scoring the comeback goals, consisting of Lamine Yamal, Olmo, and Rashford, and veteran Polish striker Lewandowski leading the attack.

Possible lineup changes

What remains to be seen is whether the German coach is pleased with this lineup, which was tried out in training, and decides to stick with it for the match against Atlético, or whether he prefers to make some changes. Some of the changes he could make concern two positions: in midfield, with the possible inclusion of De Jong, or by replacing Lewandowski with Ferran.
