FC Barcelona have already wrapped up the group stage of the Champions League and know that, regardless of the result against Inter Milan, they are assured of finishing in top spot. For this reason, Ernesto Valverde is expected to ring the changes for the final match in Europe before Christmas as attention turns to LaLiga next week. First, a tricky visit to Anotea to face Real Sociedad before hosting Real Madrid at the Camp Nou four days later.

Neto is expected to start in place of Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The Brazilian has patiently waited for an opportunity and he'll get his chance to impress in Italy. He actually started most of the matches in preseason and impressed both his teammates and onlookers with his displays. Last year, when in the same position, Valverde gave Jasper Cillessen a start against Tottenham Hotspur.

It's possible that Wague will come in at right-back in order for Sergi Roberto to be rested.

OTHER CHANGES

In the centre of defence, Samuel Umtiti and Jean-Clair Todibo could be given a chance to play together. Ronald Araujo, from Barça B, is another option. Pique and Lenglet would get the night off.

Arturo Vidal is expected to start in midfield and could do so alongside Aleña. Carles Perez might allow one of the Gala Trio (Griezmann, Messi, Suarez) a night off. It'll be interesting to see if Ansu Fati and Arthur are ready to return after missing the Mallorca match due to minor knocks.
