Five meetings in 18 days
Barça will end the year with a frenetic and complicated month of December
The Blaugrana team, immersed in the worst moment of the season, has the obligation to get up if it does not want to lose its way in the final stretch of the calendar year.
Barça must react as soon as possible. After a fateful November, in which the advantage they had over Real Madrid in La Liga went from 9 points to 1, December is full of difficult commitments. There are 5 matches to be played in 18 days. They begin this Tuesday, when a Barça expedition will leave for Mallorca to visit Son Moix.
Regarding the domestic competition, the team led by Hansi Flick has no margin for error, as their biggest rival is hot on their heels. Four of the five matches left in 2024 are league games, so the Catalans must return to cruising speed and get going to take all the points. They are not allowed to slip up or the first place will change hands.
As for the Champions League, the pace remains good. Last month, the Catalan team visited Belgrade and beat Red Star 2-5. Brest then visited the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys and were defeated 3-0, in the first victory for the Blaugrana without Lamine Yamal. FC Barcelona is now third in the table, 3 points behind Liverpool, who are in first place.
A December with 5 games in 18 days
This Tuesday, FC Barcelona will visit Son Moix. The match will be against a difficult Mallorca, who are having a very good season. The Balearic team always becomes very strong on their island, much more so when the big teams visit. This is why the team led by Flick must react as soon as possible. It will not be an easy match, but it would be gratifying to get the three points.
Regarding the rest of the matches that the Blaugrana squad has, on Saturday there will be another trip, this time to Seville, to play against Real Betis. Afterwards, the Catalans will take a flight to Dortmund to play the only European match, which will be against Borussia. The month will close with the visits of Leganés on December 15 and Atlético de Madrid on the 21st. So, it will be an end of the year full of difficult obstacles that Barça will have to overcome to remain hooked on the top zones of the two competitions.
