This is Ronald Koeman's second game in charge of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona face Girona this evening in their second preseason match. Ronald Koeman is still getting to know his squad as well as building up the players' fitness levels in difficult circumstances. Against Nastic, he named two completely different XIs in each half.

The players that Koeman doesn't expect to be at the club when the transfer window closes aren't included. Luis Suárez, Arturo Vidal, Rafinha, Wague, Matheus and Umtiti are all left out.

From the starting lineup, de Jong and Busquets form the double pivot. Griezmann is the main striker with Messi, Coutinho and Trincao sat behind him. Araujo starts ahead of Lenglet in defence too.

FC BARCELONA: Neto; Roberto, Piqué, Araujo, Jordi Alba; De Jong, Busquets: Messi, Coutinho, Trincao; Griezmann.
