Xavi trusts Lamine Yamal again after four substitutions

Lamine Yamal, at 16 years old, starts again for Barcelona against Sevilla. Xavi Hernández chose to use the pearl of the quarry and the winger stayed on the starting bench in the last four games. But the coach considers that the match against Sevilla is the right time for the young striker, who has revolutionized the Blaugrana game at the start of the season, to return to the eleven since Barça only tied in the last matchday and intends to regain the lead. .

The right wing of the attack will be for Lamine Yamal, which forces Xavi to invent Raphinha, the theoretical starter in that position, as an inside player, a position where he has played good minutes. Like Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski also returns to the team after resting in the Mallorca camp. The Pole will face Sergio Ramos, 37 years old, 21 years older than Lamine Yamal.

In Son Moix, Barcelona gave the home team too many facilities in defense, which led 2-1 at half-time. This has caused Xavi to correct against Sevilla and go back to betting on the defense that has the best results and the most shooting in this start. Koundé and Christensen occupy the places that in Mallorca went to Araújo and Iñigo Martínez.

In the center of the field, Oriol Romeu is the victim, so the creation of the game will depend entirely on Gavi and Gündogan, who will have the help of Cancelo who is usually positioned as the second organizer. The Portuguese, like his compatriot João Félix, has had five starts in a row.

Barcelona will have Ter Stegen, Cancelo, Kound, Christensen, Balde, Gavi, Raphinha, Gündogan, Lamine Yamal, João Felix and Lewandowski.
