Oriol Romeu and Gündogan debut in Xavi's eleven

Barça starts the defense of the League title in Getafe. Xavi Hernández has not surprised with his first line-up of the season and has opted to include the two signings that he had available, Oriol Romeu and Gündogan. The rest are waiting to be registered in LaLiga.

The goal, as always, will be defended by Ter Stegen, accompanied in defense by Koundé, Araújo, Christensen and Balde. The Terrassa coach once again opted for the square that he likes so much, counting on Oriol Romeu, De Jong, Gündogan and Pedri for this task. In front, they will put the goals Raphinha and Lewandowski.

Gavi is left out of the eleven that, despite making his debut last Tuesday at the Joan Gamper Trophy, is still not one hundred percent. The young footballer did not participate in any of the games on the American tour and today he will start from the bench to continue with the plan.

Another of the reinforcements this summer, Iñigo Martínez, is not called up. The central defender from Athletic Club continues to recover from an injury and has not yet been registered. Barça registered Sergi Robert, Oriol Romeu and Abde last night. He hopes to be able to close those of Marcos Alonso, Iñaki Peña and Iñigo Martínez before August 31.

Ter Stegen; Kound, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; Oriol Romeu, De Jong, Gundogan, Pedri; Raphinha and Lewandowski.

On the bench: Gavi, Ferran, Ansu Fati, Abde, Sergi Roberto, Eric, Astralaga, Lamine Yamal, M. Casadó and Fermín

At Getafe, José Bordalás bets on this eleven to receive the league champion: Soria; Iglesias, Damian, Duarte, Mitrovic, Gaston; Djené, Maksimovic, Aleña; Latasa and Mata.
