BARÇA MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GIRONA'S 'PUNCH'
Barça, facing the possibility of 'recovering' 2nd place in LaLiga against Real Sociedad
FC Barcelona faces the end of the season with no chance of winning a title, but with the obligation to achieve four victories that will allow it to qualify for the next Spanish Super Cup. Against Real Sociedad it will be the first big challenge
The season 2023/2024 is arriving to his final and for the FC Barcelona there is very little that celebrate. It has been a full year of altibajos for a team that, although it has found to his next stars (Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí...), it has remained short to the hour to litigate by the titles and is to years light of the version that allowed him conquer LaLiga and Supercopa in the previous course. With four parties for contesting, the year has left a flavour of mouth more than bitter.
The aim, to fault of four parties so that it go down the curtain of LaLiga, is to ensure the second position that would classify them to the dispute of the Supercopa of Spain in Saudi Arabia. In addition to having the possibility to win a title to beginnings of year, for the Barça supposes an economic need contest the 'final four'. No coneguirlo would be a historical disappointment.
For this, will have to win to the Real Sociedad this Monday (21:00 hours, 9:00 PM CEST) in the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Compannys. They come to fall, with traced back included, in front of the Girona in Montilivi. The defeat left them in a very bad situation, because they did not depend on yes same, but in case to impose to the Basque group will be recovering this possibility. The ones of Michel 'punctured' in his visit to the Sportive Alavés (2-2) and have only two points of advantage on the Barcelona.
The Barça, with too many obligations
Like this then , the Barça can be in a much more comfortable stage, but before have to impose in front of a Real that also is forced to carry a positive result to keep 'alive' the dream to play the Europe League in the next season. It will be a key duel for both teams in which any of the two can neither wants to leave points.
For the ones of Xavi Hernández the requirement is greater, because they know that the fans is not happy with the results that are registering and, more important still, with the image that are leaving. In front of the Girona went back to 'fall' mentally when had everything to sentence the victory and left the enésima tests that, in the most important moments and when the requirement is greater, the team falls .
Against the ones of Imanol Bailiff are forced to show a much more conclusive version and correct the errors committed recently more than a week. It foresees that there will be a lot of changes in the diagram of the trainer egarense and the only doubt will be in who will be the third midfield player: Fermín López or Pedri González, a doubt that has repeated in the last clashes because the Canarian has not showed in his best version and, by his part, the player formed in The Masia has given a lot of reasons so that Xavi trust he.
Xavi knows that there is a lot at stake
By his part, the Real Sociedad will look for to have regularity although the drops are too many. To travel to Barcelona, confirmed the absences ofM artín Zubimendi, Jav Galán, Aihen Muñoz, Zubeldia and Carlos Fernández. Imanol Bailiff will have to do a few changes in his XI and find the formula so that the team can repeat the attainment of the past season, when they won to the Barça in the Camp Nou for the first time in 33 years.
In the previous of the crash, Xavi recognised that it is a vital party for the team: "we Go back to have an opportunity to attain the second square. We depend on we by the tie of the Girona in Vitoria", signalling that "the Real Sociedad has an extraordinary level, Imanol does a bestial work, do the things very well. Difficult rival, rocky, sure that it puts it to us complicated and difficult. The team is with win to show that it can win a big team after the defeat in Girona".
