Barcelona will continue to play preseason in a 2025-26 campaign against South Korea Masters on Monday.
La Blaugrana had already breezes past Vissel Kobe and FC Seoul during her visit to Asia, shooting at the latter during a target festival in the South Korean capital. They will be eager to beat the informal daegu for the third time in a row.
Hansi Flick showed an impressive starting lineup during Barça's first two friendly matches and is unlikely to change the tack on Monday. Their preferred XI should start, but expect a comprehensive change as the game progresses.
This is how Barcelona can queue up.
Hansi Flick should speak of a strong starting lineup. /imago/aflosport
GK: Joan García– The goalkeeper has not been overtested since the summer transition from Espanyol, and he admitted two in the first half against Seoul.
RB: Jules Koundé– Koundé impressed with Thursday's victory and should win more minutes on Monday as Barcelona's undisputed trail. He is unlikely to compete with Daegu's low-standard attack.
CB: Pau Cobarsí– Arguably Daegu's only major threat in the last third, but the Brazilian veteran should be frustrated by Barcelona's impressive teenagers.
CB: Ronald Araújo– Half-mindedly poured out rumors about Araújo's exit this summer, and he continued his confidence in Uruguay during the preseason.
LB: Alejandro Balde– Balde is expected to bomb up and down on Monday, providing a lot of offensive support without much defense.
DM: Pedri– Pedri performed typical elegantly last time on Seoul, and he is still an impressive jump in the Barcelona midfielder.
DM: Frenkie de Jong– The Dutch revealed that he is about to sign a new contract with La Blaugrana after ongoing export rumors, and he remains an integral part of Barça's system under Flick.
RW: Lamine Yamal– The young man bent his offensive muscles on Seoul's stent, his stent stretching out two stylish strikes. He will be eager to fill the boots on Daegu.
AM: Dani Olmo– Olmo assisted Yamal in a strike in Seoul, improving moderate performances against Vissel Kobe. Daegu would worry about the offensive midfielder's creative masterclass.
LW: Raphinha– Raphinha did not score or assist in the preseason, which is likely to change against Daegu on Monday. The Brazilian will hope to build some goal momentum ahead of the new sport.
ST: Robert Lewandowski– Barcelona will need to reveal Lewandowski's long-term successor in the near future, but the Polish International continues to score at an impressive pace. He managed his first preseason last time.
