Luis Enrique names his strongest-possible Barcelona team against Atletico Madrid tonight, in what could be his last match at Camp Nou.
Accusations of excessive rotation have been levelled at the Asturian Coach, but he is not taking any risks with his latest XI, which sees Claudio Bravo, Sergio Busquets and Andres all return at the expense of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Marc Bartra and Sergi Roberto.
Up top, the attacking triumvirate of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar are given another run-out together, with Enrique banking on the South American trio to replicate the form they showed during the 5-0 demolition of Elche in the Copa del Rey on Thursday.
In the away corner, Diego Simeone makes six changes from Atleti’s 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Real Madrid midweek, starting in goal as Miguel Moya returns in place of Jan Oblak.
Juanfran, Tiago, Arda Turan, Koke and Mario Manduzkic are the other personnel coming into the fold, with Lucas Hernandez, Saul Niguez, Mario Suarez, Raul Garcia and Fernando Torres dropping out.
Barcelona: Bravo; Alves, Pique, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suarez, Neymar.
