Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez handed Robert Lewandowski his first La Liga start at the Spotify Camp Nou stadium. The Blaugrana had issues registering its new signings ahead of the new season.

In goal, Ter Stegen remains unchallenged as he had been over the last couple of years.

Barcelona official line vs Rayo Vallecano

Ter Stegen, Araujo, Sergio, Dembele, Pedri, Lewandowski, Andreas Christensen, Jordi Alba, Raphina, Eric Garcia, Gavi.

The first starting lineup of the season looks great particularly the addition of Robert Lewandowski who was outstanding throughout his years in the German Bundesliga with Bayern Munich.

Barcelona will have an attacking boost which could feature the trio of Robert Lewandowski, Raphina and Dembele. Robert would play as the centre forward while Raphina and Dembele would play on the flanks.

Barcelona edged past Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy last weekend. The Blaugrana face Rayo Vallecano that forced Manchester United to a draw during the Preseason.
