Barcelona XI vs Levante – Predicted Lineup and Team News | OneFootball

Barcelona continue their La Liga title defence with a trip to Levante on Saturday, aiming for another statement win after their convincing 3-0 victory at Mallorca on opening weekend.

Under new manager Hansi Flick, the Catalan giants have showcased tactical flexibility and attacking flair, with Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Ferran Torres all impressing in their season debut.

Flick has emphasised the importance of squad depth, recently including several youth players in matchday squads and prioritising league fixtures over international youth competitions.

Barcelona Team News

Robert Lewandowski’s return from injury is a timely boost for Flick’s side. The star striker was expected to be out for three weeks, but fresh updates confirm he might be available for selection against Levante, although Ferran Torres could retain his place after scoring against Mallorca.

Kit controversy continues for Barcelona, as La Liga ruled all three new kits clash with Levante’s home kit, forcing the team to wear last season’s green-lime kit again. Joan Garcia is in line to start in goal. Pau Cubarsi, Ronald Araujo and Alejandro Balde shore up the defence. The midfield trio of Frenkie de Jong, Pedri and Gavi are all fit and in strong form.

Barcelona are clear favourites, but Levante’s solid defence and home advantage could make for a competitive test. Flick’s commitment to youth and tactical variety, plus Lewandowski’s surprise availability, make Barca the team to watch. Both managers will provide official statements pre-match, with Flick expected to comment on squad selection.
