The captain will finally not be a starter in the Champions League final against Wolsburgo
Giráldez bets on Salma to perform functions of 9 and stays out of the eleven Geyse
Barça’s eleven for the Champions League final against Wolsburg is already known… and there is a surprise in the eleven. Giráldez’s lineup leaves us with two big news: one quite predictable and the other not so much. The first is the substitution of Alexia Putellasthat there was enough consensus that today he would be a substitute, although due to his weight in the team there could always be some doubt. More surprising is the presence of Salma and the substitution of Geyse Ferreira.
The big question now is to see what position Salma and Mariona will occupy. From the outset, everything indicates that the first will do the job of 9. With her lineup, Giráldez ensures a lot of goals, although she is a player without much experience in this position.. With everything, he already knows what it is to play as a 9 with the national team. Another option is for Mariona to act as a false nine, although Rolfo is better understood with Caldentey as a winger.

Now we will have to see what level Rolfo and Bronze are at, who have entered the eleven as expected, but come to the game after overcoming injuries. The rest of the eleven is as expected. The gala team with which Barça will seek today to lift the second Champions League in its history.
The Catalans are slightly favorites over the Germans, who knocked out Arsenal after extra time in the semifinals in a fast-paced tie.
