'Demir can replace Messi': Barca fans pick ultimate XI for Real Sociedad match

Barcelona start their 2021/22 La Liga campaign with a home clash against Real Sociedad on Sunday.

With Leo Messi gone and several key players missing through injury, Ronald Koeman has a lot to think of ahead of the match.

Based on the 3 options we offered yesterday, here's how the cules on Tribuna.com want the Catalans to line up. The 4-3-3 system (Option 1) got the most support.

Adib Al Hussami: "I prefer option 1. However, I think Pedri needs some rest so give Riqui Puig a chance to shine again."

Rodgerdo: "Option one is better but for Griezmann. Why not on the right wing?"

Aliyu S. Bako: "Option 1 is better than any other option. All the best, Barcelona!"

Adam Vatsa: "Wow Barca is lucky to have Demir. I believe he can replace Messi."

Monie Edison Nyawari: "I don't think Memphis is a false 9. He is a player of high quality and the football system doesn't necessarily depend on a single position. If he can be used as a pointer, it's a good idea.

"For me, we need to use their diverse talents for now while waiting for Aguero."

cubana_Funky: "None of this is good when Ronald Araujo is not there."

Barca XI: Neto - Dest, Pique, Garcia, Alba - De Jong, Pedri, Busquets - Demir, Memphis, Griezmann.

Barca are yet to reveal the matchday squad for the La Real clash. However, it's certain that Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Clement Lenglet, Oscar Mingueza, Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele and Sergio Aguero will miss the match through injury.
