Real Sociedad vs Barcelona Team News and Key Players

Barcelona enter this fixture in formidable form, having not dropped points in the league since early December. The Catalan giants have combined defensive solidity with a clinical attack, led by the resurgent Robert Lewandowski and the creative brilliance of Lamine Yamal.

Squad rotation is expected following their midweek Copa del Rey victory over Racing Santander. While long-term absentees Gavi and Andreas Christensen remain sidelined with knee injuries, Flick is boosted by the return of several key starters. Frenkie de Jong, Pedri, and Raphinha are all tipped to return to the starting line-up, while Joao Cancelo is in contention for a start following his recent return to the club.  Lamine Yamal Highlights Importance of Individual Path Like Cristiano Ronaldo, Rejects Comparison With Football Legends After Winning Best Foward Award at Globe Sports Awards 2025.

For the hosts, the 2025–26 campaign has been a tale of two halves. After a sluggish start that left them languishing in the bottom half of the table, "La Real" have shown signs of recovery. A gritty 2-1 win over Getafe and a penalty shootout victory in the Copa del Rey have injected much-needed confidence into the squad.

Despite their improved form, the Basque side struggles with a poor home record this season, managing only three wins from nine matches at the Reale Arena. They will also be without defender Inaki Ruperez, while midfielder Yangel Herrera remains a significant doubt. The onus will fall on captain Mikel Oyarzabal and the inventive Takefusa Kubo to breach a Barcelona defence that has kept three consecutive clean sheets in the league.
