Seville, Spain – FC Barcelona is set to face Real Betis in a crucial LaLiga EA Sports match, but the lineup revealed by coach Hansi Flick includes some unexpected choices.

Lewandowski will start on the bench. In midfield, Eric and Pedri will provide support. The defensive line features Koundé, Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, and Balde.

Midfielder Altimira, who spent several years in Barcelona’s youth system, has expressed his continued support for the Catalan club.
