FC Barcelona has a major challenge tonight against Real Sociedad.

After having lost in an agonizing way against Real Madrid at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium last Saturday, FC Barcelona is back and the match is more than complicated. The Blaugranas had been superior in the first half, they did not finish it off in the second half and then suffered the consequences of Jude Bellingham, the unstoppable midfielder that the Merengues have at the start of the season.

Once the defeat was consummated, a few days ago. That is why the FC Barcelona coach will put the best he has at his disposal to return to the path of victory and recover the status of recently lost escort.

Despite playing away from home, the Culé technical director would once again encourage the traditional 4-3-3 and would make two modifications with respect to the clash against Carlo Ancelotti's men. In the defensive line, Íñigo Martínez would come out, after a poor performance against Madrid  to bring in a player on offense, it could precisely be Lamine Yamal or Raphinha himself.

The other change would be the entry into the starting eleven of Robert Lewandowski, who already had minutes against Casablanca and is fully recovered, so he would take the place of Ferrán Torres. In this way, FC Barcelona would come out with: Marc-André ter Stegen; João Cancelo, Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen, Álex Balde; Ilkay Gündogan, Gavi, Fermín López; Raphinha or Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and João Félix.

What else awaits Barcelona?

In addition to the clash against Real Sociedad this Saturday starting at 8 p.m., FC Barcelona is already beginning to think about what is coming, since on Wednesday they will have to face Shakhtar of Ukraine for the fourth round of the Champions League, a competition in which he is the leader of group H with nine units.
