Barcelona, Spain – Barcelona faces a new La Liga challenge this Wednesday evening, hosting Racing Santander at the Spotify Camp Nou in Matchday 6 of the 2026–2027 season.
The Catalan team enters the match in high spirits, having secured a perfect record in its previous five games—amassing 15 points—and scored 21 goals since the start of the campaign.
The match holds special significance for Racing Santander, returning to the Camp Nou for the first time in 14 years following their absence from the Spanish league during that period.
Barcelona’s squad features the Egyptian player Hamza Abdel-Karim, who joined the team this season, while the attack relies on the duo of Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, given the impressive statistics both players have posted since the start of the season.
Raphinha has scored six goals in La Liga and provided three assists, while Lamine Yamal has netted five goals, making them key sources of attacking threat for the Catalan side.
Barcelona will be without the services of Frenkie de Jong, who continues to recover from a knee injury sustained during the pre-season, while young Swedish winger Roony Bardghji is also sidelined due to an ACL tear.
Gerard Martín’s status remains undecided ahead of the match; should he fail to be ready in time, either Christensen or Eric García could step into the starting lineup to cover his absence.
Goalkeeper: Juan Garcia.
Defense: Koundé, Cubarsí, Christensen, Balde.
Midfield: Rodri, Pedri, Dani Olmo.
Attack: Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Anthony Gordon.
