Rodri, Fermin start in a 4-3-3: How Barcelona can line up against Feyenoord

FC Barcelona are set to face Feyenoord in their first UEFA Champions League match of the season, with the Blaugrana opting for a 4-3-3 formation. This formation allows Rodri and Fermin to start in central midfield, with Pedri joining them to form the backbone of the team. In defense, Joan Garcia is expected to continue his impressive form as the first-choice goalkeeper, while Jules Kounde is likely to start at right-back, despite Eric Garcia's suspension.

On the left side of defense, Espart will partner Alejandro Balde and Cancelo, while Gerard Martin and Pau Cubarsi will start at center-back. Midfield sees the continued partnership of Rodri, Pedri, and Fermin, with Rodri and Pedri at the heart of the three-man midfield unit. In attack, Raphinha will continue to play in a central role, while Lamine Yamal and Anthony Gordon will operate on the flanks to provide a goal threat and creative outlet for the home team.

Feyenoord, who have also made a strong start to their season, will be facing a formidable challenge against Barcelona's current form.
