Sports Mole looks at how Barcelona could line up in Sunday's La Liga clash with Atletico Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano.

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has a number of big decisions to make in terms of his team selection for Sunday night's La Liga title showdown with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital.

Marc Bernal and Marc-Andre ter Stegen remain unavailable for selection due to long-term knee injuries, but Andreas Christensen is now available following a recent muscular issue and could potentially be in the squad.

Pau Cubarsi will be back in the squad after missing the Champions League fixture with Benfica last time out through suspension, and he is expected to return in the middle of the defence, meaning that Inigo Martinez could drop out of the side.

Pedri is a certain starter, but Marc Casado is likely to miss out to Frenkie de Jong in the middle of midfield, while Dani Olmo could again be given the nod over Gavi when it comes to the number 10 position on Sunday night.

Lamine Yamal, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski will again feature as the front three, though, with the trio enjoying stunning seasons.

Lewandowski has 34 goals and three assists in 39 appearances for Barcelona this season, while Raphinha has 27 goals and 19 assists in his 41 outings, with the Brazilian having a standout campaign.

Yamal is on 12 goals and 17 assists, with the 17-year-old again demonstrating this season why he is viewed as arguably the best teenage talent in world football.

Barcelona possible starting lineup: Szczesny; Kounde, Araujo, Cubarsi, Balde; De Jong, Pedri; Yamal, Olmo, Raphinha; Lewandowski
