How Barcelona could line up against Juventus

How Barcelona could line up against Juventus

Barcelona boss Xavi is unlikely to make too many alterations to the side that started Saturday's El Clasico with Real Madrid in Las Vegas for their next pre-season game against Juventus.

Robert Lewandowski was handed a start against Los Blancos, with the Poland international leading the line on his debut, and the centre-forward should again be in the side against Juventus.

Raphinha continued his impressive start to his Camp Nou career with the winner against Real Madrid, and the summer arrival from Leeds United is also expected to be in the side.

Ansu Fati played off the left against Carlo Ancelotti's side, and the fact that he only played the opening 45 minutes suggests that the Spaniard, who had his fitness problems last season, will again start here.

There is likely to be a couple of changes to the team that took to the field for the first whistle against the Spanish and European champions, with Franck Kessie and Sergino Dest potentially coming in.

Gerard Pique was involved for the final 30 minutes against Real Madrid after missing out against Inter Miami through injury, but Ferran Torres is battling to overcome a fitness complaint which has seen him fail to take to the field during the pre-season tour.

Frenkie de Jong again featured off the bench against Real Madrid, but he is not expected to be considered for a start here, with Kessie potentially featuring alongside Pedri and Sergio Busquets.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Dest, Christensen, Araujo, Alba; Kessie, Busquets, Pedri; Fati, Lewandowski, Raphinha
