FC Barcelona will look to make it two wins in two matches in the 2025/26 La Liga season when they take on UD Levante tonight.
Ahead of kickoff at Ciutat de Valencia, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup for the match with two major changes made.
The first big alteration comes in the attacking line, where new signing Marcus Rashford makes his first official start for the Blaugrana, coming in as the left-winger.
This move sees Raphinha move into the central attacking midfield role, with Flick opting not to choose Dani Olmo or Fermin Lopez. Ferran Torres continues as the striker with Lamine Yamal on the right flank.
Meanwhile, the second big change sees Marc Casado make his first appearance of the season after not being given any minutes in the opener against Mallorca.
The Spanish midfielder replaces Frenkie de Jong, who has been left out of the squad following the birth of his second child this week. Pedri continues in his role in midfield, meaning Gavi is on the bench yet again.
There are no alterations at the back as Flick has gone with Eric Garcia as his right-back again, with Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo, and Alejandro Balde completing the defensive unit in front of new signing Joan Garcia in goal.
