Hansi Flick has decided on his attacking lineup for the Levante clash, trusting his proven formula to deliver another La Liga win.
As Barcelona prepares for their second La Liga outing of the 2025/26 season, the spotlight remains firmly on their attacking prowess following a bittersweet opening victory.
Despite a commanding 3-0 win against Mallorca, manager Hansi Flick expressed frustration over his team’s lack of focus and warned of potential changes if performances don’t sharpen.
However, as the Blaugrana gear up to face Levante this weekend, Flick appears ready to double down on the attacking setup that delivered results in their season opener.
With injuries forcing tactical adjustments and a challenging opponent lying in wait, Barcelona’s offensive strategy will be critical in maintaining early momentum in a competitive La Liga campaign.
Leading the charge once again will be Ferran Torres, the dynamic Spanish forward who has seized his opportunity in the absence of the injured Robert Lewandowski.
According to Diario Sport, Hansi Flick plans to stick with the same attacking trio that shone against Mallorca, with Torres spearheading the frontline.
The 25-year-old, fresh off a goal-scoring performance in the opener, has earned Flick’s trust to lead the attack over summer signing Marcus Rashford.
Torres will be flanked by wingers Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, whose pace and flair are expected to trouble Levante’s compact defense.
Supporting the front three, Hansi Flick is likely to deploy Fermin Lopez in a creative midfield role, though Gavi and Dani Olmo remain viable options to unlock a Levante side expected to sit deep.
Olmo’s vision and Yamal’s incisiveness in the final third could prove decisive in breaking through tight spaces.
Meanwhile, Rashford’s versatility offers Flick a tactical wildcard, potentially as a late-game substitute to exploit tiring defenses.
Flick’s decision to maintain his attacking formula signals confidence in his squad’s ability to gel, despite his earlier concerns.
As Barcelona aim to build on their opening win, all eyes will be on Torres and his supporting cast to deliver a clinical performance against Levante, setting the tone for a crucial stretch in their season.
