Barcelona is a strong start of their La Liga title defense during the weekend and they will strive for a new victory when they are confronted with Levante on Saturday. Hansi Flick will have Robert Lewandowski available for the trip, and he will also continue to count on some of the younger players of the first team.
At the same time as Barcelona Face Levante on Saturday, their U19 side in Brazil will be for the U20 Intercontinental Cup. The side of Julian Belletti qualified for the historic competition by winning the UEFA Youth League of last season, and they will have won to win this competition for the first time.
In the coming days, the U19 team will travel to Rio de Janeiro for the game, which will be played against Flamengo's U20 side in the historic Maracanã stage. However, they will not be at full power, with sport that reports that Hansi Flick has decided that Jofre Torrents, Guille Fernandez, Dro and Toni Fernandez should not play.
All four players were in Flick's Squad for the weekend victory in Mallorca, and the plan is that they travel to the Valencia region for the Levante match. According to the report, the Barcelona head coach does not see the U20 Intercontinental Cup as a good reason for the quartet to miss the La Liga match.
Although there can be some disappointment for Jofre, Guille, Dro and Toni, they can consider it a huge compliment that they are very much counted on by Flick. And each of them could appear against Levante on Saturday, depending on the circumstances.
