Barcelona predicted lineup vs Real Madrid: Lionel Messi starts, Antoine Griezmann on the bench
Attack:
Striker: Lionel Messi
Lionel Messi will be hoping to make the biggest mark in the biggest game of the season, a global fest of sorts. Messi had a silent evening as per his standards against Valladolid but will be hoping to be clinical, decisive and instrumental as always against arch-rivals Real Madrid. The Argentine will be the tank of inspiration and imagination, with fans hoping to see the magician wave his wand and produce some magical moments.
Striker: Ousmane Dembele
The inclusion of Ousmane Dembele means, Antoine Griezmann misses out of the starting lineup. Barcelona are going against one of the best midfielders in the league and need extra workforce in the engine room.
The Frenchman’s blistering pace can become a problem for the Real Madrid defence especially because Zinedine Zidane will have to deploy his second choice centre back pairing in Eder Militao and Nacho Fernandez.
