Goalie: Ter Stegen.
Defenses: Dest, Araújo, Piqué, Mingueza.
Midfielders: De Jong, Busquets, Coutinho, Pedri, Gavi.
Forward: Memphis.
The Barça bench will be occupied by: Neto, Iñaki Peña, Lenglet, Umtiti, Eric García, Riqui Puig, Sergi Roberto, Nico, Ansu Fati, Demir, Luuk de Jong. These players will wait for their opportunity to breathe fresh air into the team.
