Possible lineups for Barcelona v Real Sociedad clash

Barcelona play their first game at the Camp Nou as La Liga 2022/2023 champions. The 'Cules' host Real Sociedad on matchday 35 of the domestic championship after lifting the trophy last week against Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.

However, the Basque side will be looking to spoil the party for the Catalan side as the 'txuri-urdin' are in the thick of the battle to qualify for next season's Champions League. Imanol Alguacil's side are fourth on 62 points, two clear of fifth-placed Villarreal.

Xavi Hernandez's team will be without three key players in their ranks. Ronald Araujo and Pedri have both been suffering discomfort and won't be on the pitch. Gavi on his part, will be missing the game due to a suspension.

However, the Catalan giants will come out with all guns blazing as there is nothing better than starting the title celebrations at home with a win.

Possible lineups for the clash

Barcelona possible starting XI: Ter Stegen (GK); Kounde, E Garcia, Christensen, Balde; Kessie, Busquets, De Jong; Dembele, Lewandowski and Raphinha.

Real Sociedad possible starting XI: Remiro (GK); Gorosabel, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Munoz; Kubo, Zubimendi, Merino, Oyarzabal; D Silva and Sorloth.
