Official: Barcelona starting lineup against Real Madrid | Copa del Rey final | OneFootball

FC Barcelona will be gunning for their second trophy of the Hansi Flick era when they take on Real Madrid later tonight in the finals of the Copa del Rey.

Ahead of kickoff in over an hour at Estadio de La Cartuja, the Blaugrana have announced their starting lineup that will take the field against Carlo Ancelotti’s men.

As expected, Pau Cubarsi returns to the team after being rested in midweek, starting alongside Inigo Martinez at centre-back.

Jules Kounde and Gerard Martin are also recalled in the full-back positions, replacing Eric Garcia and Hector Fort who started against Mallorca.

Frenkie de Jong returns to the team, taking the place of Gavi in the midfield double pivot alongside in-form superstar Pedri. Dani Olmo continues as the No. 10 for the La Liga leaders.

Up top, Ferran Torres starts as the striker in Robert Lewandowski’s injury-enforced absence. The Spaniard is flanked on either side by Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Wojciech Szczesny starts in goal despite Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s return to the squad.
