From the source

Barcelona travel to the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Sunday, November 8, knowing that their La Liga position will be under threat against Atletico Madrid. Hansi Flick’s side currently leads Diego Simeone’s team by two points, making the encounter quite important in the race for the top of the table.

On that note, the Barcelona manager still has two significant selection decisions to resolve, with the right-back and left-wing positions presenting the biggest uncertainties.

While Lamine Yamal and Raphinha are expected to occupy their respective attacking positions, the competition between Brian Farinas and Eric Garcia in defence, alongside Anthony Gordon and Karim Adeyemi in attack, could determine the final composition of Flick’s starting XI.
