In the highly anticipated Catalan derby, FC Barcelona faces RCD Espanyol at Spotify Camp Nou. Manager Hansi Flick has made notable changes to the starting lineup, most significantly the inclusion of Gavi, who is making his first start in 11 months. Gavi will play as a false left-winger alongside Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal. Pedri, who was substituted due to discomfort in a previous match, is back in the midfield alongside Eric Garcia. Fermin Lopez takes over the No. 10 role, replacing Dani Olmo. Alejandro Balde returns to the starting XI at left-back, while Ronald Araujo plays right-back, and Pau Cubarsi and Gerard Martin continue as center-backs. This match is crucial for Barcelona as a win could bring them closer to securing the La Liga title.
