  • Rafinha has done enough to retain his place in Barcelona‘s team for El Clasico thanks to his goal-scoring performance against Inter Milan, as Ernesto Valverde named an unchanged team to race Real Madrid at the Nou Camp.

    Rafinha, nominally a replacement for Lionel Messi at the right of Barca’s 4-3-3, will line up with the revitalised Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho in attack.

    Elsewhere, Barca’s find of the season Arthur will once again line up in midfield, and Sergi Roberto has been preferred to Nelson Semedo at right-back.

    Barcelona XI: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Lenglet, Jordi Alba; Rakitić, Busquets, Arthur; Rafinha, Luis Suárez, Coutinho.
