The Barcelona coach Hansi Flick who chooses the green line by fielding Sergi Dominguez and Gerard Martì in defense from the start, Pablo Torre and Eric Garcia in midfield, alongside another very young player like Pedri, while in attack they rely on the other baby Yamal alongside Lewandowski and Raphinha. Villarreal responds with Baillu in place of the experienced Albiol in the center of defense, while Pino finds space on the right lane of midfield. Up front, Pépé will be alongside Perez.
These are the official lineups:
Villarreal (4-4-2): Conde; Kiko Femenia, Costa, Bailly, Cardona; Pino, Comesana, Parejo, Baena; Pepe, Perez. Coach: Marcelino
Barcelona (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Kounde, Dominguez, Martinez, Martin; Torre, Garcia, Pedri; Yamal, Lewandowski, Raphinha. Coach: Flick
