This Saturday evening, Barça travel to Betis for what is likely to be an even harder visit than usual to the Benito Villamarín. Victory over the Copa del Rey champions in this 9.00pm CEST kick-off would guarantee a berth in the Champions League next season. Defeat would complicate the matter.
The team lefr on a flgiht to Seville on the morning of the match, just after Xavi had announced the following squad of 21 players:
R. Araujo, Sergio, Riqui Puig, O. Dembélé, Dani Alves, Memphis, Ansu Fati, Adama, Braithwaite, Neto, Lenglet, L. De Jong, Jordi Alba, Ferran, F. De Jong, O. Mingueza, Umtiti, Eric, Aubameyang, Gavi and Arnau Tenas.
Missing through injury are Dest, Piqué, Nico, Pedri and Sergi Roberto, while Marc Ter Stegen also misses the game with an upset stomach.
