Pedri and Ronald Araujo out for Real Sociedad game

The midfielder and defender are missing from the list of 19 players named for the fixture by coach Xavi Hernández

The first game for Barça after clinching the league title and it is a chance for the fans at Spotify Camp Nou to welcome the players in the same fashion as they were welcomed on the open bus top parade on Monday. 

Quality opposition for the champions 

The blaugranes go into the first of the four games remaining in the league, a home fixture against a Real Sociedad team who are currently in fourth place in the table and are still fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. 

Barça have prepared a festive day for the game where the squad will receive the League Trophy after the fixture and have the chance to celebrate their success with the home crowd. 

Two home games left at Spotify Camp Nou 

A victory in front of the fans at Spotify Camp Nou would be the perfect way to celebrate the title in Barça's second to last home game of the campaign. Xavi's team can go unbeaten at home in the league this season if they can avoid defeat in their final two home games, however, they will have to do so against Real Sociedad without and the suspended Gavi and both Pedri and Ronald Araujo

The midfielder has a thigh problem in his right leg whilst the Uruguayan defender is missing due to a calf problem. The 19 man squad for the game is as follows: Ter Stegen, Sergio. O. Dembélé, Lewandowski, Ansu Fati, Ferran, Iñaki Peña, Christensen, Marcos A., Jordi Alba, Kessie, S. Roberto, F. De Jong, Raphinha, Kounde, Eric, Balde, Astralaga and Pablo Torre.

Final session before Saturday's game 

In Friday's training session both Pedri and Araujo worked separately from the squad in the gymnasium. The rest of the first team squad took part in the session along with U19A goalkeeper Ander Astralaga.
