Unlike last year, Barcelona SC arrive with several new faces who are expected to draw plenty of attention in Guayaquil. José Gabriel Cevallos, Tomás Martínez, Sergio Núñez, Milton Céliz, Javier Báez and marquee signing Darío Benedetto strengthen a roster that has generated renewed excitement among supporters. They are joined by returning contributors, including goalkeeper José David Contreras and Luca Sosa, who is back to anchor the yellow back line.
For Inter Miami, Dayne St. Clair steps in as the new goalkeeper for the MLS champions. In defense, Micael and Maximiliano Falcón provide solidity, while the midfield features Santiago Morales, Venezuelan playmaker Telasco Segovia and the veteran presence of Rodrigo De Paul. Up front, the attack shines with Luis Suárez and the unmistakable quality of Lionel Messi, who once again commands the spotlight.
