Jeison Murillo is the only new addition to the list of 19 Barcelona players set to travel to the Spanish capital to face Real Madrid on Saturday from the group that was at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for Wednesday's 3-0Copa del Rey semi-final triumph.
For the upcoming LaLiga encounter, Ernersto Valverde is taking his strongest squad possible to Madrid.
The Colombian defender on loan from Valencia takes the place of third choice goalkeeper Inaki Pena.
Kevin-Prince Boateng has again been left out of squad altogether and will not travel with the rest of the team.
Valverde will have to cut one player before announcing his final 18-man squad ahead of the game.
The 19 players travelling to Madrid are:
GKs: Ter Stegen, Cillessen;
DFs: Semedo, Sergi Roberto, Pique, Umtiti, Lenglet, Murillo, Alba;
MFs: Busquets, Rakitic, Arthur, Coutinho, Alena, Arturo Vidal;
FWs: Messi, Luis Suarez, Dembele, Malcom.

I would pick Ter Stergen, Semedo, Lenglet, Pique, Alba, Bouquets, Coutihno, Arther, Dembele,Suarez and Messi. The inclusion of Coutihno is for creativity in the midfield and supply of the ball. this would mean that Messi wont be dropping so deep. it was make him stay in dangerous areas that can cause pic in the Opposition can. And if I need change, I would bring in Alena, I.Ractic, and Malcom. the later offers a lot of attacking threat.

Any Real Madrid fan that says he/she is not afraid of Barcelona these days ain't a true fan, with almost all their players in good form. We should give them the respect they deserve these days and concur to defeat even before the game start. Hala Madrid 💙

Semedo because of Vinicius's pace on the wing... Umtiti if he is fit because we will need his freshness else lenglet should play there... Arthur if he is fit because we will need a lot of control and make them see very little of the ball else Alena should start there... Vidal can be brought in to lock the game... The three attackers there are our best options... Malcolm should come in as a sub...he deserves the playing time... coutinho should also be brought on because we can't give up on him... the two attacking substitutions will also give the attackers some much needed rest... visca el barca...
