Pep Guardiola has selected his strongest possible team, or so we can only assume. Apparently, Victor Valdes isn't fit to go tonight. Jose Manuel Pinto is the starting goalkeeper. The rest of the team is as expected, with the regular back four, three in the midfield and three up top that we've come to expect from Barcelona. Real Madrid's team should feature quite a few more surprises. Here's the lineup.
