The great surprise of the eleven that Xavi Hernández presents tonight is the Ousmane Dembélé is absent for the second consecutive time. Before him Getafe Not only was he not a starter, but he didn’t play a single minute either. A week later, before the Villarrealin the last official game of the season, the French winger still does not appear in the gala team. Now it will be necessary to see if Ousmane will end up playing a few minutes or will have finally said goodbye to the season, and possibly to his Blaugrana stagein the match he played against Celta on May 10.
If against Getafe it was Ferran who occupied the right wing, now against Villarreal it will be Adama Traoré, who will occupy that position, surely in his last official match as a Blaugrana. In this way, Xavi offers the youth squad a great opportunity to say goodbye to the fans, since everything indicates that Barcelona will not execute the 30 million purchase clause and will have to return to Wolverhampton.
Apart from the ownership of Adamathe other great novelty is the return of Ronald Araújo, after overcoming the concussion that prevented him from playing against Getafe. They also return to the team Frenkie de Jong and Jordi Albawho missed last weekend’s game through suspension.
Thus, the eleven that Xavi presents tonight at the Camp Nou is Ter Stegen under the sticks, a defense with Alves, Araújo, Lenglet and Albawith the usual midfield of Sergio Busquets, Frenkie and Gaviand an offensive trident in which Adama accompanies Aubameyang y Ferran.
