Already the Spanish champions, FC Barcelona hosts Villarreal this Sunday with the aim of ending their season in style in front of their fans. Meanwhile, Villarreal, fifth, three points behind Athletic Bilbao, are still fighting for the Champions League. For this match, to be followed live with commentary on Foot Mercato, here are the two starting elevens lined up by Hansi Flick and Marcelino. Without Ferran Torres, Marc Bernal, and Jules Koundé, the German coach opts for a 4-3-3 with a defensive line composed of García, Cubarsi, Martinez, and Gerard Martin.

In goal, Ter Stegen is preferred to Szczesny, while the Culers’ attacking trio will be formed by the inevitable Lamine Yamal, Lewandowski, battling with Mbappé for the La Liga top scorer title, and Raphinha. For its part, Villarreal presents itself in 4-2-3-1 with a double pivot composed of Parejo and Santi Comesaña. In front, Pépé, Baena, Pino and Pérez will try to shake the Catalan defense.
