FC Barcelona wants to continue its positive streak in this stretch of the season and, with its visit to Cádiz CF, will seek to add three to maintain the distance with Real Madrid and prepare for the Champions League

The FC Barcelona has showed that has licence to dream in this last stretch of the season and that they are many the reasons to believe in that they can add a title before it finish the course, although it presented like an utopia does some months. The ones of Xavi Hernández come to win to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League and gave an important step to try classify to the semifinals for the first time from the season 2018/2019.

Aunado To this, from the City Condal resist to give LaLiga by stray, although the distance with the Real Madrid is of eight points in the beginning of the day 31. The ones of Carlo Ancelotti keep a rhythm almost imparable and do not know the defeat from the month of September, but in the Barça still see able to win the title. They see this week, precisely, like the more key to try 'snatch them' the trophy.

The most decisive history for the culés begins this Saturday with his visit to the Cádiz CF, from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CEST). They were alone 72 hours of rest from the clash against the PSG and the recovery has been minimum, but know that win is compulsory to keep him the rhythm to the madridistas, that play shortly before against the RCD Mallorca in Sound Moix. It is a decisive day, because it will define in which conditions will arrive both groups to the Classical of 21 April, in Santiago Bernabéu.

Split 'cheat' for the FC Barcelona of Xavi

For the Barça is a split cheat, without place to doubts. In addition to the known drops by injury of Gavi and Alejandro Balde, three players ausentarán in the New Mirandilla by sanction (Iñigo Martínez, Robert Lewandowski and Joao Cancel) and Xavi Hernández will administer the minutes of footballers like Ronald Araújo, Ílkay Gündogan, Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, Pedri or Frenkie of Jong.

It is thus that foresees that they will be many the rotations in the XI Barcelona. It will serve so that the less usual, as Oriol Romeu or Vitor Roque, can show that they are in conditions to be important in this final stretch of the season, but also to measure feelings and the performance of the Barça in the previous of the visit of the PSG.

The Cádiz wants to dream by the expense of the Barça

In front, will have a rival that is in research of the salvation. They occupy the antepenultimate position of the championship, only by in front of the Granada and Almería, with 25 points, and know that they are forced to win to keep 'alive' the dream. They have won two of his last four parties (against Athletic of Madrid and Granada, in each), with a tie (1-1 vs Ray) and a defeat (2-0 vs Real Sociedad). They see able to go out of the 'pozo' and could take advantage of that the Barça arrives very demanded physically to the party in the New Mirandilla.

Mauricio Pellegrino, however, does not consider that the culés will have problems to face the crash: "They are accustomed to play parties in several competitions. By something has plantel sufficient. A thing are the players that are in his best moment and another take care for an eliminatory. This to us does not change us a lot because speak of the opponent does not do better to the Cádiz. What can give us possibilities is how act we. From here, will have our opportunities".

The posture of the Barça before visiting to the Cádiz

The Barça, by his part, values the fact that the group gaditano only has lost one of his last five parties, by what will not be a simple presentation. Xavi Hernández highlighted in press conference that "the Cádiz only has lost a party of the last five, play a lot, play go down of category... It goes them almost the life. It will be a difficult party. Orderly team, aggressive, with direct football... It will cost. To see how arrive of tiredness and fatigue. They are three vital points if we want to compete to the end by this league".
