Barça's obstacles to 'recover' the leadership of LaLiga
FC Barcelona returns to LaLiga with a clear 'stance': It cannot leave points behind if it wants to fight for the lead, currently occupied by Real Madrid and Girona (28). Before, they must also beat Atlético de Madrid
The FC Barcelona takes action in LaLiga this Saturday, with the visit to the Real Sociedad in the Reale Sand (21:00 hours, 9:00 PM CET), in a party in which the ones of Xavi Hernández know very well that they can not leave points. After the defeat in front of the Real Madrid in the Classical, have remained to four points of the leadership and in a League that is being especially competitive, with the Girona and Athletic of Madrid like the 'others' candidates, would be a very big error neglect. Any error will cost the double, as minimum.
The Barcelona have to adopt the same attitude that the past year. In the Classical of Santiago Bernabéu fell by 3-1 and, from this moment, signed an exceptional deployment that carried them to the leadership very soon. They benefited of the desacierto of the Real Madrid, but also showed a very firm version and to proofs of bullet. In this opportunity the competition is not alone against the White House and, besides, still corresponds them confront to the others two teams that are giving war in this first stretch of the season 2023/2024.
The course is extremely long and anything could happen, but the culés have to take his forecasts. The aim will be to recover the most reliable version of the team and, probably, the return of the lesionados will be important. Players like Frenkie of Jong, Pedri González, Jules Koundé and Robert Lewandowski, when they are to 100%, have to be important footballers in the year. From there, Xavi has to find the form in which all the pieces of the puzzle fit.
