Barcelona's Squad Announced for La Liga Clash Against Racing Santander
Hansi Flick has nailed his colours to the mast for Wednesday night.
Barcelona have announced a 23-man squad for their La Liga clash with Racing Santander at the Spotify Camp Nou, as the Catalans look to protect a perfect league start and keep Real Madrid at arm’s length.
Ronny Bardghji and Frenkie de Jong remain out of the picture, but Flick has resisted any temptation to rotate heavily. The core of his side is there, the stars all in place for a late kick-off that could stretch Barça’s lead at the top.
Kick-off is set for 9:30pm Spanish time, with the league leaders three points clear of Real Madrid and intent on staying there.
Flick leans on his heavyweights
The squad list underlines Flick’s intent. Experience, youth, and firepower all travel together for another night under the Camp Nou lights.
Barcelona’s squad to face Racing Santander:
- Joan García
- João Cancelo
- Alejandro Balde
- Pau Cubarsí
- Gavi
- Fermín López
- Pedri
- Gabriel Jesus
- Lamine Yamal
- Raphinha

- Szczęsny
- Karim Adeyemi

The message is clear: no easing off, no complacency.
Riding the wave of Levante
Barcelona come into this one still buzzing from their 4-2 win over Levante, a game lit up by Lamine Yamal. The teenager struck twice, seizing the spotlight yet again and driving Flick’s side to another statement victory.
Marc Casadó and Karim Adeyemi supplied the other goals as Barça kept their unbeaten run alive and held on to top spot. The attack clicked, the rhythm looked sharp, and the scoreboard reflected it.
Now the challenge is different. Racing Santander arrive knowing they face a side in full flow, a side that has started the season with purpose and a ruthless edge in front of goal.
The Camp Nou expects another answer: can this Barcelona keep turning early-season promise into something more imposing, week after week?
