Starting XI Breakdown: Balanced setup at Camp Nou

Ammouta has named a formidable starting eleven featuring a strong defensive foundation, a combative midfield and a potent attacking frontline:

• Goalkeeper: Mostafa Shobeir
• Defenders: Mohamed Hany, Hady Ryad, Amr El Gazar, Karim Fouad
• Midfielders: Marwan Attia, Ahmed Nabil Koka, Ahmed Sayed Zizo
• Forwards: Taher Mohamed Taher, Achraf Bencharki, Soufiane Benjdida

Ammouta's tactical setup is tailored to absorb pressure while carrying a potent counter-attacking threat.

The midfield double pivot of Marwan Attia and Ahmed Nabil Koka will provide crucial defensive shielding against Barcelona's high tempo transitions freeing Zizo to act as the primary creative link.

In goal, Mostafa Shobeir faces an elite test against Barcelona’s star studded frontline, offering the Egyptian international a prime stage to validate the growing European interest in his services.
