Barcelona kicked off their league campaign with a comfortable 3-0 win against Mallorca where their front three all got on the scoresheet.

With options like Marcus Rashford on the bench and Robert Lewandowski expected back for this game, there were some questions as to which front three Barcelona would put out. 

According to Sport, it seems like Hansi Flick has already made up his mind about his attacking trio for the game on Saturday.

Ferran Torres Expected To Start

There were really no questions about which two would start on the wings for Barcelona as unless they are injured or need a rest, Raphinha and Lamine Yamal are guaranteed starters.

The striker position was up for grabs in this game and it seems like Flick will put his trust in Ferran Torres once again to lead the line for Barcelona.

Ferran Torres has shown himself to be a capable player to lead the line as he had 19 goals in all competitions last season as was relied upon when Lewandowski suffered an injury late last year. He even earned himself a man of the match award in the Copa del Rey final.

Lewandowski is likely to regain his spot after this game but Ferran gets another chance to show why he should have more of a spot on the team and could displace more Lewandowski minutes throughout the season.

There's also the opportunity that he can show the club that they shouldn't be desperate for a striker replacement for Lewandowski and they have a capable starter already at the club.
