Marc Guiu is the main novelty for Barça with a view to this afternoon’s match against Unionistas de Salamanca in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. Xavi opts for the youth player to be the point of attack. This is the first start for the boy, who scored two goals, one against Athletic and another against Royal Antwerp in the Champions League.
With eight casualties in his squad, the Barcelona coach will also put Oriol Romeu in the eleven, with whom he has been counting on little in recent months. The other two new additions to the lineup are Fermín and João Félix, who was a substitute in both Super Cup games. Another thing that Xavi varies is the presence of Sergi Roberto as a right back.
In total, the Barcelona coach has seven of the players who were beaten by Madrid last Sunday in the Super Cup final (4-1) repeat in the eleven.
Barcelona’s complete lineup is made up of Iñaki Peña, Sergi Roberto, Koundé, Christensen, Balde, Oriol Romeu, Frenkie de Jong, Fermín, Ferran Torres, João Félix and Marc Guiu
