Here's Lewandowski, Barcelona face Villarreal with this starting lineup

After the elimination in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona have only two objectives left this season: La Liga and the Champions League. The latter is the most important club tournament in the world, where top-level teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and Bayern Munich compete, so it seems difficult for Los Blaugranas to compete for the title, considering their disappointing performances in recent months.

That is why the Spanish league is a priority for them, even though they are far from the top of the standings. For now the leaders are the surprising Girona with 52 points, one more than Real Madrid. The Catalan side are third with 44 points, so they can no longer let opportunities pass them by.

This Saturday they will face Villarreal at the Estadio Olímpico Lluis Companys in Montjuic with the pressure of knowing that, if they don't get a win, their hopes of competing for the La Liga title will be less and less. The advantage they have is that their opponents have not shown good performances so far and are one of the weakest teams in the tournament.

Coach Xavi Hernandez decided that Barcelona's starting lineup will be: Iñaki Peña; Jules Koundé, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Hector Fort; Frenkie De Jong, Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gundogan; Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski, Joao Felix. In addition, the substitutes will be Diego Kochen, Ander Astralaga, Joao Cancelo, Pau Cubarsi, Pedri, Marc Casado, Fermin Lopez, Ferran Torres, Marc Guiu and Vitor Roque.

El Submarino Amarillo are in trouble

In recent decades Villarreal have become accustomed to being among the best teams in Spain. But this season things are not going as they expected and they are in 15th place in the standings with 20 points, only 5 points away from the relegation zone. That is why it is key for them to get a positive result this Saturday. Coach Marcelino Garcia Toral chose this XI: Filip Jorgensen; Kiko Femenia, Eric Bailly, Jorge Cuenca, Alberto Moreno; Ilias Akhomach, Santiago Comesaña, Francis Coquelin, Alex Baena; Gerard Moreno, Alexander Sorloth.
