Players to Watch:

Raphinha (FC Barcelona)

The 27-year-old Brazilian finally seems to fit into Barca’s team with Hansi Flick on board. The winger has played full minutes in all three games, efficiently as an attacking midfielder. His two valuable assists so far have earned FC Barcelona two wins.

Keeping consistency in LaLiga will be key for Raphinha. He has delivered in the first three games and fans will expect him to be better in this one.

Kike Perez (Real Valladolid CF)

Kike Perez has been one of the most consistent players for Real Valladolid in the past three games. His off-ball movements and ability to lead the midfield has been a big plus for the Paulo Pezzolano-coached side. Valladolid will expect the 27-year-old Spaniard to act just above the back line in this game. He will be handed the responsibility to block incoming attacks from Raphinha, Dani Olmo and the young & sensational Lamine Yamal.
