A Barça with many rotations faces Cádiz without Lewandowski and with Piqué

Rotations and the big ones in Cádiz but with an eye on Munich. Xavi made up to nine changes compared to the team that came out against Viktoria Pilzen. They only repeat Ter Stegen and Frenkie de Jong. Neither Lewandowski, nor Pedri, nor Koundé nor Dembélé play. Instead, Gerard Piqué returns to the starting eleven for the first time this year. He also adds his first start of the Memphis course while Héctor Bellerín will debut with the Blaugrana shirt at the Nuevo Mirandilla occupying the right side.

Araújo will be Piqué's dance partner at the center of the defense while Xavi gets Balde back on the left-hand side and also Busquets. Both rested in the Champions. The Barça captain will play alongside Gavi and Frenkie de Jong.

In front, Barça will come out without Lewandowski or Ansu Fati or Dembélé. Xavi wanted to reward Ferran Torres after scoring and assisting in the Champions League.

The Valencian will be accompanied by the Brazilian Raphinha who also rested against Pilzen and Memphis Depay at the top, who had not yet played as a starter this season.

Barcelona's eleven: Ter Stegen; Bellerin, Pique, Araujo, Balde; Gavi, Busquets, F. De Jong; Raphinha, Memphis and Ferran Torres.

The discarded will be Pablo Torre who will watch the game from the stands. Marcos Alonso waits on the bench, who could also play his first minutes.
