Official: Barcelona starting lineup against RCD Mallorca | La Liga GW16

Barcelona will be hoping to bring an end to their winless streak in La Liga as they take on RCD Mallorca at Son Moix in an hour.

Ahead of the game against Jagoba Arrasate’s side, Hansi Flick has announced the starting lineup, with a huge surprise in store.

Indeed, the Barcelona head coach has opted to bench star striker and top scorer Robert Lewandowski for the game, with Ferran Torres starting as the striker tonight.

Meanwhile, Dani Olmo, Marc Casado, and Lamine Yamal are all back into the starting XI with the likes of Fermin Lopez, Gavi, and Pablo Torre dropping to the bench.

Pedri retains his spot in the centre of the park while the defensive line consists of Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Inigo Martinez, and Alejandro Balde, who is fit enough to start after being subbed off with a blow to his trachea against Las Palmas.

Inaki Pena continues in goal ahead of emergency signing Wojciech Szczesny as expected, although the La Masia man must step up if he is to hold on to his spot.
