Xavi must already know what his best XI looks like, judging from the players who impressed him the most. Let's have a look.
Barcelona's best XI: Ter Stegen - Araujo, Kounde, Christensen, Alba - Busquets, Pedri, Kessie - Dembele, Lewandowski, Raphinha.
Xavi is expected to continue with a back-four. However, the right-back position is where we could see a major change. The gaffer could use Araujo or Kounde in that position as he doesn't trust Roberto or Dest. Hence, someone like Christensen or Garcia could get more game time in central defence.
In midfield, Xavi could opt for the power of Kessie ahead of Gavi or make rotations. Pedri is untouchable and so is Busquets. The likes of Pjanic and Frenkie de Jong are backup players.
In the attack, Xavi's best front three is already known - Lewandowski, Dembele and Raphinha. The others like Memphis, Fati, and Aubameyang are there to keep the team competitive and help out when needed.
