Barcelona's 23-Man Squad for La Liga Clash Against Racing Santander

Hansi Flick has nailed his colours to the mast for Wednesday night. Barcelona’s head coach has named a 23-man squad for the La Liga clash with Racing Santander, as the Catalans look to keep their perfect league start alive under the lights at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Two big names remain missing. Ronny Bardghji and Frenkie de Jong are still out, but Flick has otherwise gone strong, leaning on the core that has carried Barça to the top of the table.

The squad list reads like a statement of intent: Joan García, João Cancelo, Alejandro Balde, Pau Cubarsí, Gavi, Fermín López, Pedri, Gabriel Jesus, Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Marc Casadó, Szczęsny, Karim Adeyemi, Andreas Christensen, Roony, Dani Olmo, Marc Bernal, Jules Koundé, Eric García, Dominik Livaković, and Hamza Abdelkarim.

Kick-off is set for 9:30pm local time, a prime-stage slot for a side that has started the season with a relentless edge. Barcelona sit three points clear of Real Madrid, unbeaten and unflinching.

Their latest victory, a 4-2 win over Levante, underlined just how dangerous they have become. Lamine Yamal stole the show with two goals, a performance that felt like another step in his rapid rise. Marc Casadó and Karim Adeyemi added the others, ensuring Barça not only collected the points but did it with authority.

Now comes Racing Santander, another test, another chance for Flick’s Barcelona to show this surge is no early-season illusion.
