Predicted XI for Barcelona in the upcoming El Clasico

MIDFIELD AND FORWARDS

Since Ronald Koeman will opt for his classic 4-2-3-1 formation, we can expect a double pivot Sergio Busquets and Frenkie de Jong to provide and support the defense and attack. The advanced midfield trio will consist of Philippe Coutinho, Ansu Fati, and Antoine Griezmann. Coutinho will play through the centre as he has done so far this season under Koeman, meanwhile, Griezmann and Fati will attack from the flanks. Lionel Messi will most likely play through the centre as the false nine against Real Madrid.
