Barcelona football returns to our lives after 300 years of international break (actually, it was two weeks but it feels a LOT longer), and the Catalan giants will play at Camp Nou against Deportivo Alavés on Saturday hoping to retain their perfect record and stay at the top of La Liga.
Manager Luis Enrique has a bit of a selection headache for this weekend. With sixteen players returning from international duty and captain Andrés Iniesta still not 100% in his recovery from injury, as well as the Champions League opener against Celtic just three days after the league match, Enrique is likely to make a big rotation of the starting lineup to start the European Cup with the strongest possible lineup.
