Official: Barcelona squad list to face Villarreal | La Liga GW 37 | OneFootball

Barcelona have officially released their squad list for the final home fixture of the 2024/25 La Liga season against Villarreal.

This match will not only mark the closing chapter of another successful league campaign under Hansi Flick but will also be an emotional farewell to the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, which has served as Barça’s temporary home for the past two seasons.

As the club looks forward to moving back into the Spotify Camp Nou next season, at least partially, depending on the progress of ongoing renovations, there is a sentimental weight attached to this encounter at Montjuic.

The stadium has grown into a fitting, if temporary, fortress for the Catalans. Flick’s side have played 18 home games this La Liga season, winning 14, drawing once, and losing just three times.

Beyond the results, the club has also reconnected with its supporters during their stay at Montjuic. The rise in average match attendance this season reflects a renewed enthusiasm and emotional bond between the fans and the team.

Meanwhile, Manager Hansi Flick is expected to rotate his squad for this fixture, with the La Liga title already secured.

The most notable return is that of Inigo Martinez, who is back in the squad after serving a suspension in the derby against Espanyol. His presence in the starting XI seems likely given Ronald Araujo’s ongoing absence due to injury.

Also included is young defender Sergi Dominguez, and fans could catch a glimpse of the academy product in action if Flick follows through with his plan to rotate and give opportunities to emerging talent.

These changes, combined with the backdrop of a celebratory home send-off, suggest that this match will be as much about emotion and appreciation as it is about the football itself.
