FC Barcelona have a blockbuster of a game awaiting them as they take on Real Madrid in La Liga tonight, on Sunday. The Blaugranes would clinch the league title if they win or even draw the game. Furthermore, Barcelona can equal the number of wins in El Clasicos with the Merengues if they win this game.

Meanwhile, the historic significance of El Clasico also makes it a must-win game for the Catalans, and as a result, Hansi Flick has named quite a strong squad for this game.

The forward Lamine Yamal is the most important name missing from this squad list, as he continues to recover from the injury that has kept him out of action for the last few weeks, and which is expected to keep him sidelined for the rest of the season as well. Similarly, Andreas Christensen also remains absent from the list.

Meanwhile, Jules Kounde has returned to the list after having missed the last game, against Osasuna, due to suspension.

The full squad announced by Barcelona is as follows:

  1. Joan Garcia
