Xavi Hernández does not want to be scared in the postponed league game that he faces Betis this Wednesday at Villamarín and has decided to line up the most competitive eleven he has, with the usual drawing with four midfielders that he has been using frequently in recent times.
The drawing was as expected but the great unknown lay in knowing who the Barça coach would choose to replace the injured Dembélé. And finally it will be Raphinha who forms the attack together with Lewandowski, while Ansu Fati will start on the bench once again.
On the defensive line, Xavi has chosen the four defenders he trusts the most, presumably with Koundé acting at right-back, with Christensen and Araújo in the center of defence. Balde passes in front of Alba and will be the left back.
It should be noted that Gavi, who will surely be the third attacker, profiled on the left wing, will finally debut his status as a Barca first-team player, and will wear the number
FC Barcelona's eleven is formed by Ter Stegen; Kound, Thunder, Christensen, Bucket; Busquets, Pedri, De Jong; Raphinha, Lewandowski and Gavi.
For its part, Real Betis Balompié will form with Rui Silva; Aitor Ruibal, Pezzella, Luiz Felipe, Abner; Guido Rodriguez, William Carvalho; Luiz Henrique, Channels, Fekir; and Borja Iglesias.
