Player(s) to watch:

• Raphinha will be the player to watch out for FC Barcelona in this game. He has been sensational this season with 24 goals and 15 assists in 36 games across competitions. He can play across the front line, often positioned on the right wing but capable of playing on the left or as an attacking midfielder. His adaptability makes him valuable for tactical flexibility. The Brazilian winger possesses excellent ball control, with a flair for dribbling that often sees him weaving through defenders.
• Alberto Moleiro has scored four goals in 24 games across competitions so far this season. He will be very important for his team yet against Barcelona. He is a creative spark—quick feet, silky dribbling, and sharp vision. Loves cutting inside, linking play, and taking on defenders, though his crossing and finishing could use some polish.
