Update: Real Madrid 2-2 Barcelona, Final Score.
Barcelona is down two central defenders, and they don't think that either Alex Song or Marc Bartra is the answer. Instead, the man brought into the team is Adriano. There are some grumblings that he'll play in defense, but it's more likely that he plays left back while Sergio Busquets plays in defense, Jordi Alba moves up front and Cesc Fabregas moves into midfield. The Real Madrid team features no surprises, with Luka Modric left out in favor of Madrid's normal starting XI.
FC Barcelona starting lineups (4-3-3): Victor Valdes; Adriano, Sergio Busquets, Javier Mascherano, Daniel Alves; Cesc Fabregas, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta; Jordi Alba, Lionel Messi, Pedro Rodriguez
Real Madrid starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Iker Casillas; Marcelo, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Alvaro Arbeloa; Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira; Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Özil, Angel di Maria; Karim Benzema
Kickoff is at 7:50 p.m. local, 1:50 p.m. ET from Camp Nou in Barcelona. You can catch the game on beIN Sport in the U.S., Sky Sports 1 in the U.K., and Canal+ in Spain.
