Only Jules Kounde is not available, so all of Raphinha, Robert LewandowskiAndreas Christensen and Franck Kessie compete for their competitive debut.
While Sergi Roberto and Ousmane Dembele were with the club last season, they have also been registered after signing new contracts and can be selected by Xavi.
Given the effort the club has gone into signing these players, it seems likely they will all be selected from the start, especially after a big win over Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy just under a week ago.
Of Frenkie De Jong and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang may be preparing for relocationsit seems unlikely they will start while Ferran Torres is an injury concern.
Barcelona predicted XI (4-3-3): Ter Stegen; Araujo, Christensen, Garcia, Alba; Busquets, Gavi, Pedri; Dembele, Lewandowski, Raphinha
Doubt: Torres (foot)
