Flick has been forced to manage his squad carefully over recent weeks, notably leaving Raphinha out of the starting lineup in the recent fixture against Osasuna as a precautionary measure. However, with the league title within reach, the manager is expected to lean heavily on the Brazilian’s experience against Los Blancos. While Raphinha may lack the “special” individual flair he attributes to Yamal, his tactical discipline and goal threat remain vital for Barcelona. The Blaugrana look to effectively end Real Madrid’s title hopes, and secure domestic silverware in front of a packed Camp Nou crowd.
