The line-up has been announced, and I'm really surprised how Xavi put Gavi in the winngers this match to form trio of Gavi, Lewandowski and Dembele. I'm not sure what Xavi's goal is in this match but I think he might be trying out a new position for his players especially Gavi.
Xavi seems to want to explore Gavi's potential further in this match because indeed they look quite different from before and even with this they are resting Ferran and Ansu but so far they are running smoothly with their current 4-3-3 formation even though this is not no doubt because surely they mastered the course of the game.
But this could be good even though for the first half it is likely to be a draw but of course if Gavi is eventually withdrawn this will change the scheme especially if Ansu is brought in and Dembele is replaced with Raphinha later this will make Barcelona's wings quicker in the end .
As far as the 40 minutes have gone, Gavi has also been quite good in his new position at the moment. One of the young talents that Barcelona really deserves to be honed because this player has pretty good vision.
