Barcelona - Real Madrid on Sunday carries a direct title line: Barcelona can clinch LaLiga at Camp Nou with a win or a draw. Hansi Flick has to work with the players available, and the projected XI includes Joan García in goal and Eric García on the right side.
Joan García At Camp Nou
Joan García is projected to start after a season in which he has posted 14 clean sheets in 28 starts. That is the clearest form line in Barcelona’s setup for a match that can decide the championship at home against Real Madrid.
Eric García is expected to take Koundé’s place at right back, with Pau Cubarsí and Gerard Martín projected as the center back pairing. Eric has played 48 matches in all competitions this season, while Cubarsí is 19 years old and keeps his place in a back line built around availability as much as choice.
Flick’s Available Players
Flick’s task is shaped by a squad with several absences, so the projected defense reflects the players still on hand rather than a full-strength preference. Barcelona still gets the same simple equation: win or draw, and the title is theirs at Camp Nou on Sunday.
Real Madrid arrive with Federico Valverde recovering from head trauma after a collision with Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Álvaro Arbeloa would put his side on the field while dealing with the week’s internal issues. That leaves Barcelona with the cleaner route to the trophy if it handles the clásico result it needs.
Sunday’s LaLiga Decider
The stakes are straightforward for the home side. Barcelona do not need a margin, only a result, and Sunday’s clásico gives them the chance to finish the job against their biggest rival in their own stadium.
