Xavi Hernandez will begin his 2022-23 Champions League campaign with a game against Viktoria Plzen at the Camp Nou tomorrow.
Speaking to the press earlier today, Xavi hinted that there would be rotations in the starting XI.
In this article, we take a look at how the Catalan giants could set up their starting XI. Check it out below:
The 4-3-3 formation is expected to be deployed with Marc Andre Ter Stegen starting in the goal.
Andreas Christensen could return to the center-back spot, forming a partnership with Eric Garcia. Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba are likely to start as full-backs.
Sergio Busquets should play in the lone pivot spot while Frenkie De Jong and Pedri Gonzalez occupy the other positions in the middle of the park.
Robert Lewandowski is expected to lead the team’s attack once again with Ansu Fati and Raphinha starting on the wings. Ousmane Dembele could be given a rest in this game.
