Forwards: 7. Ousmane Dembélé, 9. Robert Lewandowski, 10. Ansu Fati, 11. Ferran Torres, 22. Raphinha

There are no surprises on the list as Xavi and the medical staff continue to rest Ronald Araujo (calf) and Pedri (thigh) to avoid a late-season injury, and Jules Kounde is back after getting a rest of his own in last Tuesday’s trip to Valladolid. Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba will play their final home games for the club and are both in the squad and expected to start in their Camp Nou farewell.
