How Barca can lineup against Rayo if they can't register 7 players in 4 days

The not-so-cheering news filtering in from Spain is that Barcelona still can't register players in La Liga - four days to the start of the new season.

The affected players are Jules Kounde, Robert Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie, Raphinha - plus Ousmane Dembele and Sergi Roberto who signed new deals.

Here's how Barca can lineup against Rayo Vallecano on matchday 1 if they still can't register the aforementioned players for La Liga by then

Xavi may have to improvise a little to get the job done, but he still has a pretty decent squad on paper to get all three points.

Barcelona have until the last day of August to register all their players for La Liga. Regardless, they can only start the season with registered players.
