Should be treated as friendly. And continue to give chances to the youth and not rushing the returning players. We have this match and Boca Juniors match to prepare for the First Liga game.

I just saw that everyone that was missing so far will be back tomorrow. So not only Coutinho and Luis but Raki, Umtiti and the likes too.

I imagine it will be too soon for any of them to play much of a part in this one, but Messi, Pique, Busi, Alba & Dembele will definitely start.

Feels weird that we are playing in Morocco not in Spain

I would play this line up (4-3-3)

Mats--- Semedo, Pique, Lenglet, Alba--- Rafinha, Busi, Arthur--- Malcolm, Messi, Roberto

We don't have anybody on that LW with Coutinho just arriving and Dembele is not going to be match fit in one week time. Put Dembele on the LW in the 2nd half.

I'm also tempted to put Miranda instead of Alba as I want to see how he does against a good team in a match of more importance than in pre-season

It's unfortunate that this game will only allow 3 subs, as far as I know. Only the players from the U.S. tour should be fit enough for 90 minutes by next weekend, but it is essential that the internationals get game time before La Liga begins. Barca's play could deteriorate in the second half due to fatigue.

Think this game might come too soon for Coutinho, Luis and some others.
I Don't think they've even started training as yet.

4-4-2 defending, 3-4-3 going forward.

The WINNER of Supercopa NEVER won la liga in the following season. So if Barca win the Supercopa, Real madrid will be La liga Winner 2019

Tricky game. Sevilla started the preseason earlier because of the EL playoffs. They already played 6 games.

 

[PhilS]

It will be good to see the international players finally get some pre-season action, and to see Vidal get his first playing time. With only this game and the Gamper available to get all the players who did not go to the U.S. ready for La Liga, Valverde will have to use both of these primarily to get the internationals into shape and work on integration of the new guys. These pre-season Cups are valuable because they mean more than pure exhibition games, so they do a better job getting the players ready. Getting slaughtered by RM last season in the two pre-season Cup games was so effective in waking up the Barca players that I almost wish that Sevilla does the same this year.

I'm sure that all the midfielders will be psyched to convince Valverde they should be regulars. The only midfielder that I think already has a regular starting position assured is Coutinho (assuming 4-4-2).
