The lineups of FC Barcelona and Real Madrid for the friendly Clásico in Dallas, Texas have been announced. Frenkie de Jong can show it from the first minute, while Ousmane Dembélé, coveted by Paris Saint-Germain, is also in the base. Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti opts for the relatively new 4-4-2 formation, just like in previous exhibition games. The game starts at 23:00 Dutch time and can be seen on Ziggo Sport Select.
On the side of Real Madrid, Thibaut Courtois is under the crossbar. Dani Carvajal, Éder Militão, David Alaba and Ferland Mendy form the defense of the Madrilenians. Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Federico Valverde are the midfielders. The Brazilians Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo form the striker pair. Ancelotti thus opts again for a 4-4-2 formation instead of 4-3-3. However, Valverde could still move to the right wing position, where he played successfully before.
Marc-André Ter Stegen is under the bar with the Catalans. The defense consists of Jules Koundé, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen and Alejandro Balde. De Jong, Ilkay Gündogan and Oriol Romeu are the midfielders. Pedri, Robert Lewandowski and Dembélé must take care of the goal production. Xavi cannot have access to Gavi, who is struggling with a back injury.
Opstelling Real Madrid: Courtois, Carvajal, Militão, Alaba, Mendy; Valverde, Bellingham, Tchouaméni, Camavinga; Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo.
Opstelling Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Koundé, Araujo, Christensen, Balde; Gundogan, De Jong, Romeu; Dembele, Lewandowski, Pedri.
