Players to watch out for:

Raphinha (FC Barcelona):

Raphinha will be the player to watch out for FC Barcelona in this game. He has been sensational this season with 17 goals and 10 assists in 23 games. Raphinha can play across the front line, often positioned on the right wing but capable of playing on the left or as an attacking midfielder.

His adaptability makes him valuable for tactical flexibility. The Brazilian winger possesses excellent ball control, with a flair for dribbling that often sees him weaving through defenders.

Juan Cruz (Leganes):

In the 2024-25 season, after returning to LaLiga, Leganes fans have quickly turned their attention to Juan Cruz, not just for his goals but for his work ethic and his flair on the pitch. His goal against Las Palmas was a work of art where he unleashed a spectacular shot from 25 meters out. He has scored five goals and registered one assist in 18 games and will be the player to watch out for in this game yet again.
