The year 2017 will close with a Classical in Santiago Bernabéu, but before going back to measure with the Real Madrid, the FC Barcelona has to surpass several challenges of maximum requirement. The first of them will arrive in the première of the month of November, with the visit of a dangerous Seville to the Camp Nou. The men of Ernesto Valverde do not want confidences in spite of handling the classification from a privileged place, and for this will have to show on the lawn what seems a superiority on the paper.

Between the plague of injuries that azota to the Barcelona changing room has colado a light in the announcement, one of which is used to to be decisive and in which the technician has trusted without doubting. Andrés Iniesta has answered to the optimistic forecasts of the medical services and finally will be available for the Txingurri, that could give him minutes from the start -as it has done until the moment- or opt for giving him gone in from the bench.

With a rival that pretends to dominate the spherical, the good do of the midfield players foresees key, besides continue with a defensive seriousness that it will be differential if it keeps in big parties. Besides, and although it seem too usual, the Catalan group will trust the leadership of Leo Messi, that has a lot to say against the Andalusians. In the 30 occasions that have crossed , the Argentinian has left 29 goals, 13 assistances and the feeling that the clashes decide when he wants to. This season arrives launched... And this means danger.

Statistical superiority

Although his last victory in the Champions has served like an important moral reinforcement, the Seville lands in the City Condal with some doubts on his performance, especially every time that plays far of his fans. It began the course winning in Getafe and Girona, but sank in front of Athletic, Athletic, Spartak and Valencia. It took air in front of the Cartagena in his last exit, but will have to improve a lot his provision if it wants to go back home with some point.

And if difficult has it out of house, more still is when the stadium in which it plays dyes of Barcelona, since in his last visits to the Camp Nou has fallen without remedy. It has given the face in the tournaments coperos, but to look for his last points in LaLiga it is necessary to retreat until the campaign 2011-12, with a tie, to the 2003-04, with another equalised, and to the 2002-03, with his last triumph. When pite the referee there will be place for the statistics, but, of course, the one of the rojiblancos is a losa important.

The Barça has in front of himself a proof of level in front of one of the most complicated teams of the competition, and can not despistarse if it wants to show that it is prepared to go back to win. Demolish to the Seville would be a good proof that the team that directs Ernesto Valverde goes seriously, and for the moment his men hardly have failed in what it goes of season. That it was not this the first time.
