Those of the Catalans, on the other hand, are 99, but the Blaugrana in addition to the home factor are preparing for the challenge on the strength of +9 in the La Liga standings.

Xavi towards the trident, with Gavi and Raphinha on either side of bomber Lewandowski. Muscle, running but also technique in the midfield trio composed of the eternal Busquets, De Jong and old Serie A acquaintance Franck Kessié. Mirror formation for Carlo Ancelotti, who in the midfield should pair Camavinga with the certainties Modric and Kroos. Up front, no surprises, with Valverde joining the untouchables Benzema and Vinicius in the attack line.
