With qualification in the Champions League already secured, Ernesto Valverde is set to make big changes for Barcelona’s final group stage fixture.
They travel to Milan in midweek to face Inter, who are still hoping to join the Blaugrana in the last 16 by equalling or bettering Borussia Dortmund’s result.
But the German side may not receive too much of a helping hand from Barça, who are being tipped to overhaul things for their trip to Italy.
Sport report that Neto is set for his debut as he is handed a first chance to show what he can do following his summer switch from Valencia.
Sergi Roberto is also in line to be rested, allowing Moussa Wagué to come into a defence which is also being tipped to include Samuel Umtiti and Jean-Clair Todibo.
Arturo Vidal and Carles Aleña are expected to start in midfield, while in attack at least one of the superstar MSG trio is set to sit out.
Carles Pérez is ready to return, while Ansu Fati is also in contention again after missing out against Mallorca with a knock.
Regardless of the result at San Siro, Barcelona are already assured of top spot in the group in addition to qualification.
