FC Barcelona head coach is set to make significant changes to his starting lineup as they prepare to face Cadiz in La Liga following their recent victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The team is riding high after a 3-2 win in the first leg against PSG, but they must now focus on maintaining their position in La Liga and closing the gap with Real Madrid.
The coach emphasized the importance of securing a win in the upcoming match, stating that their La Liga title defense could be at risk if they fail to perform. With just eight points behind Real Madrid and the El Clasico approaching, Barcelona cannot afford any slip-ups.
Key changes are expected in the lineup, with only a few players retaining their spots. Marc Andre ter-Stegen will continue in goal, while Sergi Roberto and Andreas Christensen are set to return to the defense. Hector Fort will take his place on the left, aiming to replicate his previous strong performances.
In midfield, Oriol Romeu and Fermin Lopez will provide fresh legs, supporting Frenkie de Jong. Upfront, Joao Felix and Ferran Torres will feature on the wings, with Vitor Roque earning a rare start in place of Robert Lewandowski.
The coach stressed the need to shift focus from the Champions League to La Liga and build a team capable of securing a crucial victory. Despite the upcoming match against Cadiz, Barcelona remains determined to stay in the title race and set the stage for a competitive El Clasico showdown.
FC Barcelona's lineup against Cadiz: Ter Stegen; Roberto, Araujo, Christensen, Fort; Oriol Romeu, Frenkie de Jong, Fermin; Ferran, Vitor Roque, Joao Felix
