Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Saturday's pre-season friendly with Real Madrid.

Robert Lewandowski is in line to make his Barcelona debut in Saturday's El Clasico with Real Madrid.

Following weeks of negotiations, the Catalan giants managed to come to an agreement with Bayern Munich over the Poland international, who has been training alongside his teammates in America.

The experienced striker is in line to make his first appearance for Xavi's side on Saturday, with the La Liga outfit playing their third friendly of the summer against the Spanish and European champions.

Gerard Pique and Ferran Torres will both be hoping to feature for the Catalan side, having missed out against Inter Miami with fitness issues, and the latter could come in for a start in the final third of the field.

Sergio Busquets, Ronald Araujo, Jordi Alba and Gavi are also expected to feature in the starting XI following the team's 6-0 victory over Inter Miami last time out.

Frenkie de Jong is unlikely to start amid the speculation surrounding his future, with the Netherlands international still being strongly linked with a switch to Manchester United.

Pablo Torre, who is another new arrival at the club this summer, played the second half against Inter Miami, and the youngster is in line for another start here.

Raphinha starred on his Barcelona debut, scoring once and providing two assists in the clash with Phil Neville's team, and he could feature alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ferran Torres in a front three.

Andreas Christensen also made his debut for the club last time out, and the summer arrival from Chelsea could be joined by Araujo in the middle of the defence.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Ter Stegen; Dest, Araujo, Christensen, Alba; Gavi, Busquets, Pedri; Raphinha, Aubameyang, F Torres
