The starting line-up for tonight’s important match against Porto has arrived and here Xavi offers a few surprises. The Barca coach has neither Danish Andreas Christensen nor Alejandro Balde with him from the start.
The starting lineup looks like this: Peña, Cancelo, Araujo, Koundé, Martínez, Gündogan, De Jong, Pedri, Rapginha, Felix and Lewandowski.
Balde, Alonso, Christensen, Romeu, Sergi Roberto, Torres, Astralaga, Kochen, Yamal, Fermín and Casadó sit on the bench.
There are many indications that Cancelo will be moved over as left back, while either Araujo or Koundé will be placed as right back, which is a definite rejection of Balde, who takes a place on the bench, just like Andreas Christensen.
The match is set to start at 21.00 (9pm).
