Barcelona forwards hand Xavi selection headache ahead of Betis clash

Barcelona’s forwards have enjoyed themselves over the international break, giving Xavi plenty to think about when La Liga resumes at the weekend and the Catalans host Real Betis.

Robert Lewandowski hasn’t hit top form yet this season but scored twice for Poland against the Faroe Islands and it will be a surprise if he doesn’t start on Saturday night at Montjuic.

The big question really is who will play alongside Lewandowski? Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, and Joao Felix are all options and were all on target for their countries.

Raphinha grabbed a goal and an assist against Bolivia but might be back on the bench again for Barcelona, purely because of the timing.
