As the La Liga season heats up, FC Barcelona is gearing up for their match against Girona on Sunday, and the starting lineup has been revealed by Spanish media. According to reports, Wojciech Szczęsny and Robert Lewandowski will lead the charge from the opening minute, with the latter making a return to the starting eleven after coming off the bench against Osasuna.
The match against Osasuna saw FC Barcelona bounce back from the international break with a 3-0 win, and now they’re looking to build on that momentum. With Hansi Flick at the helm, the team is expected to field a strong lineup, and the media consensus suggests that Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will join Lewandowski in the attack. Raphinha, who missed the Osasuna match due to a scheduling conflict with the Brazilian national team, is set to make a return to the starting lineup.
The midfield lineup is where things get interesting, with Pedri being the only certainty. According to reports, he’ll be joined by two players from the following group: Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, and Eric Garcia. The defensive lineup will see Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo return from injury, with the latter being spared in recent matches to ensure his full recovery.
FC Barcelona’s match against Girona is set to take place on Sunday at 16:15, and fans can follow the action on Sport.pl and the Sport.pl LIVE mobile app. With Lewandowski and Szczęsny leading the charge, the team will be looking to build on their recent win and consolidate their position in the La Liga standings.
