Barcelona have confirmed their starting eleven for the match against PSG, with Raphinha returning to the side, according to Barca Universal. The outlet reported the lineup on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, ahead of the game against the French club.
The same report states that Rodri is not included in the starting lineup. Barca Universal did not give a reason for his absence in the information available.
Raphinha's return puts him back in the first eleven for the PSG fixture, a detail the outlet highlighted in its confirmed team news. Beyond his inclusion and Rodri's omission, the report did not list the remaining players or explain the selection decisions.
Team news of this kind draws attention because the confirmed lineup is the clearest signal of how a coach intends to set up for a major European match. Barcelona's confirmed eleven, as reported by Barca Universal, settles the question of whether Raphinha would feature from the start and confirms that Rodri would not.
What to watch next is how the confirmed lineup shapes Barcelona's approach against PSG, and whether the coach offers any explanation for Rodri's absence after the match.
