He already said that we would likely see some of Luis Suárez in the pre-match press conference, and so it was expected that he would be in the squad list. The eighteen blaugranes that will be in the Bernabéu this evening were announced at 9:00 CET, and they have already taken off to Madrid. Busquets, who seems to have recovered from his physical problems, is on the list, but it is yet unclear whether he will be in the lineup or Mascherano will take his spot as central defensive midfielder.
Squad list
- Goalkeepers: ter Stegen, Bravo.
- Defenders: Alves, Piqué, Bartra, Mathieu, Alba.
- Midfielders: Mascherano, Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Sergi Roberto, Rakitic.
- Strikers: Pedro, Munir, Messi, Suárez, Neymar.
The Spanish pundits have been claiming in the last few days that Mathieu will feature as leftback, that Xavi will share the midfield with Rakitic and Mascherano/Busquets and Iniesta will be found upfront together with Messi and Neymar.
