As issues stand, Barcelona solely have 4 attack-minded choices to select from for the match at Balaidos: Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez and Pau Victor. Bearing this in thoughts, Flick could determine to make a daring name by taking part in Alejandro Balde in a extra superior place.
So per SportFlick is contemplating taking part in Balde as a left winger in opposition to Celta – it’s a place that the 21-year-old just isn’t fully unfamiliar with, as he performed there throughout his time in La Masia. The chances are it will solely occur if Lewandowski can not begin, as Victor would probably begin on the wing if the Polish striker is given the medical inexperienced mild.
If Balde is performed on the wing, Gerard Martin would slot in at left-back – the teenager has flattered to deceive when referred to as upon by Flick this season, so it may very well be a dangerous ploy for Barcelona, particularly at a spot like Balaidos the place they’ve struggled up to now.
