Official: Barcelona starting XI against Levante | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to kick off their game against Levante soon. The second game in La Liga for La Blaugrana, it is an opportunity to add to the three points that they have already earned. Fortunately, the Catalan side has the quality to aim for victory here.

Despite being away from home, Hansi Flick’s side is prepared to face off against teams irrespective of unfavourable situations. Moreover, the German tactician has decided to field a strong lineup as well.

Here is the official starting eleven for Barça that will be taking on Levante.

In goal, just like the previous La Liga game, Joan Garcia starts for Barça. The Spaniard managed to keep a clean sheet against RCD Mallorca, and he will be looking to repeat a similar performance against Levante in this game.

Ahead of him, the centre-back partnership consists of Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo. Both players will look to build out from the back while simultaneously ensuring that Joan Garcia faces as little trouble as possible.

On the flanks, Eric Garcia and Alejandro Balde start for the Catalan giants. They will have a lot of running to do up and down the field, but their presence should help out a lot both offensively and defensively.

In the midfield, Pedri partners up with Marc Casado in the double-pivot role. Both players will look to combine their technical abilities to ensure that Barça remains in control of the game, and they will also need to be defensively solid to help out the backline when needed.

As for the attack, Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford occupy the wings for Hansi Flick’s team. Moreover, in between them, Raphinha starts as the team’s primary central attacking midfielder right behind the centre-forward.

Up top, Ferran Torres starts as the primary focal point in attack for Barcelona. The centre-forward will need to be clinical and make sure that the chances that come his way do not go to waste, and he has the ability to make them count.
