Ernesto Valverde prepares for the upcoming match against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday in the second leg of the King's Cup semi-final.

Barcelona are in the semi-final, with most of the players ready, with the exception of injured Arthur Milo and goalkeeper Jasper Silesen, who took part in the group's mass rally yesterday, giving them a chance to appear at the Clasico Liga next week.

Valverde's decision was largely based on most of the team's positions, starting with goalkeeper Terje Steigen, along with the defense quartet Seymido, Piquet, Ommetti and Alba, after the return of the Frenchman in the Sevilla match, as well as the attacking trio of Messi, Dembley and Suarez.

But the coach faces the midfield problem hours before the start of the game.

As usual, duo Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakic ​​are in the middle of the field, with Valverde gaining confidence, to talk about the third place to be contested by Arturo Vidal and Carles Alenia.

A draw for the likes of Camp Nou, Barcelona will have to pay players who can offer both defensive and defensive roles to reach Real Madrid and participate in positive play on the goal, along with the pressure and the defensive cohesion required for not receiving goals.

Valverde's perplexity will be either playing with his own experience, physical strength and defensive action, or taking advantage of Alenia's ability to rotate the ball in the middle of the pitch, although the Chilean is the closest to entering the starting line.
