The Barça lineup and rotation
Barcelona travels with the logic of a winner but potentially rotates given the distance to the end of the season. With the league confirmed on paper, coach Xavi Hernandez may opt to rest certain players and test alternatives. Players such as Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres, Marcos Alonso, Eric Garcia and goalkeeper Iñaki Peña could see action as part of a broader squad refresh. On the other hand, forward Robert Lewandowski remains a central figure in the attack as he chases the Pichichi trophy. Key absentees for Barcelona include Pedri González, Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé, all sidelined through injury and unavailable for selection.
