Team News: Lionel Messi to make 500th Barcelona appearance against Real Betis

Lionel Messi will make his 500th Barcelona appearance after being named in the starting lineup for Wednesday's La Liga match against Real Betis.

Lionel Messi will make his 500th Barcelona appearance after being named in the starting lineup for Wednesday's La Liga match against Real Betis.

The Argentine forward starts in a three-pronged attack with Neymar and Luis Suarez as Barca return to domestic action after winning an unprecedented third Club World Cup earlier this month.

Luis Enrique makes three changes to the side that started the final against River Plate in Yokohama, with Thomas Vermaelen, Jeremy Mathieu and Sergi Roberto in for Gerard Pique, Jordi Alba and Andres Iniesta.

The visitors, meanwhile, have only one change in their lineup as Ricky van Wolfswinkel replaces Joaquin.

Barcelona: Bravo; Dani Alves, Mascherano, Vermaelen, Mathieu; Busquets, Sergi Roberto, Rakitic; Messi, Neymar; Suarez
Subs: Ter Stegen, Pique, Iniesta, Bartra, Munir, Jordi Alba, Adriano

Real Betis: Adan; Molinero, Bruno, Westermann, Vargas; N'Diaye, Petros, Cejudo; Ceballos, Castro, Van Wolfswinkel
Subs: Dani Gimenez, Pezzella, Digard, Portillo, Piccini, Van der Vaart, Joaquin
