Team News: Barcelona defender Gerard Pique back for La Liga finale against Atletico Madrid

Pique back for Barca

Gerard Pique has returned to the Barcelona lineup for this afternoon's winner-takes-all La Liga finale against Atletico Madrid.

The Spanish centre-back has been out injured with a hip injury recently but returns as Barca look to retain their league title.

Gerardo Martino's men have to beat Atletico to clinch the crown, and they have Xavi Hernandez and Neymar on the bench should they be needed.

Diego Simeone opts to start former Barca man David Villa in attack alongside Diego Costa, with Tiago preferred to Mario Suarez in midfield.

Barca: Pinto; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Adriano; Busquets, Cesc, Iniesta; Alexis, Messi Pedro Subs: Olazabal, Xavi, Neymar, Alba, Song, Bartra, Tello

Atleti: Courtois; Juanfran, Miranda, Godín, Filipe Luis; Gabi, Tiago, Koke, Arda; Villa, Costa Subs: Aranzubia, Alderweireld, Sosa, Mario Suarez, Diego, Adrian, Raul Garcia
