Official: Barcelona name XI to face Valencia | OneFootball

The XI of players set to be depended upon by Barcelona to get the better of Valencia on Thursday evening has been unveiled online.

And it features a number of altogether noteworthy changes.

Barcelona are of course primed to return to action in short order.

Fresh off a hard-fought 1-0 downing of Deportivo Alavés in La Liga over the weekend, the Blaugrana have turned attentions back towards matters in the cup.

A spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey is up for grabs, in a Copa del Rey meeting with Valencia.

Barca will head into the matchup no doubt confident in their chances of advancing, after putting seven goals past their hosts for the evening in La Liga just weeks ago.

In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of Hansi Flick and his staff restoring much of the XI which ran riot against Los Che.

The likes of Eric García, Frenkie de Jong, Fermín López and Ferran Torres have returned to starting duties, with Barcelona’s line-up for the evening showcased in full below:
