For this match, Xavi is deprived of Lewandowski and Torres (suspended) but still lines up two Frenchmen at kick-off: Koundé and Dembélé. Christensen is preferred to Araujo in central defense while Baldé and Sergi Roberto will be the full-backs. Fati replaces Lewandowski in front while Gavi, Pedri and Busquets will animate the midfield. On the Getafe side, Arambarri and Munir are injured. Quique Flores remains faithful to his 5-3-2 with his Mayoral-Unal attacking duo and makes only one change after the defeat against Espanyol with the entry into the XI of Iglesias in place of Portu .
The official compositions:
FC Barcelona : Ter Stegen – Roberto, Koundé, Christensen, Baldé – Gavi, Busquets, Pedri – Raphinha, Fati, Dembélé.
